Downhill Derby
DERBY Canceled
I am sorry to say that we have canceled the derby for Sunday, due to the forecast for rain. If there is any rain or water on the road, the derby cars will skid around. We get one opportunity to close Harford Road and resources are limited, so there is no 'make up' date for this event. We have chosen to make this decision today, a weekday, for several reasons, other than our primary concern for safety. We need to cancel insurance, city services, road closures, and etc. We hope you will join us next year for this annual tradition. In the meantime, please thank our sponsors and support your local businesses!
