A LEGO Outlaw Race will take place after the Cub Scout race. The Lego Outlaw race is open to all scouts, parents, siblings, etc.
We will have some Legos and a few Lego Chassis available to borrow and build a car to race. After the end of the race, you will not be able to keep your car or the Legos....BUT if you want to keep your Lego car and Legos then you will need to bring it from home and it must have a Pro Brick Chassis or the Pro Wheel Brick assembly.
You will need to purchase a Pro Brick Chassis https://www.pinewoodpro.com/pro-brick-chassis-for-racing-brick-derby-cars.html
