White Squirrel Box Derby – 2010

White Squirrel Box Derby – 2010

Friday, April 02, 2010, 1:28:57 PM | mike

Our 4th Annual Squirrel Soap Box Derby is just one of many venues. This gravity race is the only legal opportunity in Brevard where you can try to break the speed limit down Jailhouse Hill! All vehicles were hand built and decorated to please the crowd, as well as designed for speed. Contestants competed for trophies for the fastest critter, the squirreliest theme, and the nuttiest design. In addition, businesses fought to win the overall Golden Nut Trophy, which combined speed and design. Team LAGATI won this year’s Golden Nut Trophy. Children 8-17 years were able to enter for free, thanks to our generous sponsor, French Broad Place.

Come decked out in your Derby team’s apparel! Some teams are already selling T-shirts.

For more information call Heart of Brevard 828.884.3278

Don’t miss the excitement of the upcoming 2010 Squirrel Box Derby. Kids (8-11 years and 12-17 years) will race on Saturday, May 29th. Those 18 and over (including businesses) will race on Sunday, May 30th.

In order to continue to keep safety our #1 priority, here are some guidelines, as you begin designing your entry for May 2010:

* Braking System: must affect 2 of the 4 wheels that are on the ground. We recommend that you do not have two independent brake “pedals” for the primary system. The dominant hand/foot may cause the vehicle to start spinning. (You may have a back-up breaking system.).

* Steering System: must affect 2 of the 4 wheels that are on the ground. Try to design to prevent over-steering that can lead to flipping over.

* To Protect the Head and/or Prevent Falling Out: a DOT-approved helmet is MANDATORY. We HIGHLY RECOMMEND a roll bar/cage or designing the back of the kart so that it is higher than the driver’s head (in case the kart flips). We REQUIRE a safety belt/restraint.

* Towing Capacity: we are REQUIRING that you include towing hooks (eye screws) both at the back and front ends for towing up Jailhouse Hill.

Other Entry Requirements:

* Overall footprint dimensions cannot exceed 32 square feet.

* Wheel base needs to be wider than the height of the vehicle body.

* Total maximum weight (driver & vehicle): 250 lbs. (ages 8-11), 350 lbs. (ages 12 and above).

* Hand-built and must incorporate some form of bodywork.

Besides the mandatory DOT-approved helmet, we REQUIRE that drivers wear gloves, long-sleeved shirts/jackets, long pants, and closed-toe shoes. We encourage children and youth to wear elbow pads, as well. Major road burn can be avoided with proper clothing.

(Standard derby kit cars will need modification to meet our safety standards. We encourage you to create your own design).

Don’t forget those creative designs for the nuttiest or squirreliest categories!

NO ALTERATIONS/ADDITIONS/DELETIONS CAN BE MADE TO THE VEHICLE ONCE IT PASSES INSPECTION (EXCEPTIONS FOR SAFETY WILL HAVE TO BE CLEARED WITH THE EMERGENCY SAFETY DIRECTOR AND HEART OF BREVARD EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR).

Update 5-5-2010

Happy Cinco de Mayo 2010 from Isaac Allen

As you may have heard the HOME BUYERS CREDIT has expired.  Lawmakers are going to sit back and see what happens now with housing.  Here is a link to today’s news about the subject from the National Association of Realtors website. http://www.realtor.org/press_room/news_releases/2010/02/stabilize_remain

I have stayed up all hours last week working with buyers that wanted to get the credit and will get it because they got contracts on April 30th, the last day to be eligible.

For this week I expect a slowdown, only to pickup again as the spring market really heats up. 

One thing I am committed to this month is looking at all homes that are on the market for sale in the general area, priced up to $300,000.  This will help me to know exactly what is on the market and what properties are the most direct competition for each of my listings.  This will help me make sure we are priced within the market and very competitive. 

I also plan on more open house events this month, closer to the Memorial day weekend,  subscribe to my YouTube channel to get the latest news on open houses in the area.  If possible I want to organize foreclosure home tours in the area to all interested.  Let me know if this would interest you or someone you know.

INTEREST RATES

For the last couple of years, home buyers have benefitted from an affordable combination of lower home prices and lower interest rates. But if you've been on the fence about buying a home, or waiting for even better buying opportunities, now might be the time to give us a call to see if buying today makes sense for your individual goals and needs. Even though the government's popular Home Buyer's Tax Credit expired on April, 30, 2010, this is still a good time to act, as home affordability is likely to get worse before getting better. Ever since the Federal Reserve's program to help lower home loan rates and stabilize the housing sector ended in March, 2010, after purchasing a reported $1.25 Trillion in Mortgage Backed Securities, the mortgage market has been very volatile. And despite fluctuations, rates remain good overall; but, as the Federal Reserve sells off some of its huge holdings, supply in the market will increase, and likely lead to higher rates. Don't wait until higher rates force you out of the market. Give us a call today.

Isaac Allen
