pencils ,small squares of paper and a container to put the votes in.

towel or some kind of padding in the bottom. Next race information will be displayed on
a projector screen. The box needs to be numbered 1 to 4 representing the track number
the car will run on. Runners will take boxes to the tracks. Let track personnel load cars
onto the track. Keep the cars in numerical order at all times to make it easier to find for
the next race. All cars will remain in the staging area until the final race is completed.
