A local trucking company provided the flat bed trailers on which the ramps are fastened and moved them to the hill on race day. Ramps as elaborate as the ones shown below should not be necessary, but they allowed older kids to start at the top and younger kids a starting point lower down to control speed. Start and finish banners donated by sponsors benefit the organizers and racers. Everyone benefits because the organizers appreciate the banners and the sponsor appreciates the opportunity to let the community know it is a good corporate citizen. Other sponsors can provide color, entertainment and refreshments at the event.
Many large corporations appreciate the opportunity to be associated with community youth groups.
Cooperative advertising can raise the positive profile of the organizer's event as well as the image of the sponsor. The racers below may seem to be a little disorganized, but once the parade began, the crowd appreciated the racer designs as well as the antics and formations of the drivers. If the WebMaster considers it suitable, it will be included.
