Rules
Here you can find the rules and regulations for entries in the Leeds DA's Annual Bogie Race.
- The construction should be predominantly of wood adopting the traditional idea of bogey building, namely a form of transport made in the back yard using any wood you can lay your hands on, some screw, nails, a piece of rope and four wheels. It is up to the individual to develop the construction but seriously, we are looking for traditional design with a few mod-cons and not an F1 model.
- It should be designed to carry one person

- It shall have a number plate measuring 75mm x 75mm (3” x 3”) fixed to the front of the bogey in a prominent position.

- It shall have 4 wheels, preferably one at each corner.
