Cubanapolis 500

OK, the boys are going to play water races, water balloons, and foot racer. They also did some Derby cars out of Boxes. The race goes like this:

Cubanapolis 500
Make Cubmobiles from boxes. Designate a racetrack with straight ways and curves. Include a pit stop for each team.
Drivers wear goggles, or glasses, lace up shoes and socks. The race is run in heats of 3 cars. Each heat consists of 3 laps
and each driver must make one pit stop during the 3 lap race. During the pit stock the pit crew must, clean the windshield
(glasses), change the tires (remove shoes, turn socks inside out and put shoes back on), and refuel the driver (4 ounces of
Kool-Aid through a straw).
