Think you’ve got what it takes to build the fastest coffin on wheels?
The first-ever coffin race in Cave Spring is coming up on Saturday, October 18.
The event is being billed as part DIY derby, part Halloween spectacle, and 100% unforgettable.
Check-in will be at 1 p.m. and the race starts at 2:30 p.m.
There will be a parade at 6:30 p.m.
Here’s how it works:
Teams of 5, including four pushed and one rider, will race custom-built, wheeled coffins in complete head-to-head timed heats.
The coffins must meet certain specs, and there will be awards for the fastest team, best coffin, best Paisley or rider, and best entourage.
All racers must be 14 and older, but entourages can be all ages.
The deadline to enter is October 3 at 5 p.m.
