SUMMARY:FIRfest 2025
DESCRIPTION:FIRfest 2025\nSaturday\, November 15\, 2025 \n9:00 am – 12:00 pm \nWhittier Park – 901 Contra Costa Ave\, Fircrest \nCome get your FREE TREE!* \nWe’ll have FIVE different varieties: Douglas-Firs\, Ponderosa pines\, Quaking aspen\, Netleaf hackberry and Giant sequoia. \nWe’ll also have a work party to preserve our green space at Whittier Park.

To register for the work party scan the QR code on the poster or follow this link:** \nhttps://zfrmz.com/nqG1e6TziIxchaCtpZvn \n* reservation is NOT required to pick up a tree.\n** reservation is required to participate in the work party. \nHere are some FUN FACTS about the trees we are giving away at the event! \n\nDouglas-firs are not fir trees\, or spruce or hemlock\, it is its own special type of tree with only a few species found in North America and Asia.\nThe bark of ponderosa pine has a unique smell that resembles butterscotch.\nNetleaf hackberry is small and gnarly in stature but tough in nature! Once established it can handle heat\, drought\, and strong winds.\nThe slightest breeze will cause the leaves of quaking aspen to tremble\, in the fall it looks like fluttering gold.\nAlthough giant sequoias are long lived and get very large very quick\, they are an endangered species. If you have a big space and big heart\, this big tree might be for you!\n\nThe Kiwanis Club of Fircrest will also be onsite serving up some hot drinks! \nThank you Pierce County Parks\, Pierce Conservation District and Kiwanis Club of Fircrest for your partnership! \nSee you at the Park!

Whether you’re racing\, cheering from the sidelines\, or helping behind the scenes\, the Derby is all about community connection and good times in Fircrest. \nREGISTER HERE: RecDesk Director \nDivisions:\n\nCreative Cruiser Class (home-built\, non-traditional derby cars without Z-Glass wheels)\nZ-Class Racers (cars with Z-Glass Style Wheels)\n\nAge Groups\n\n5 – 6\n7 – 10\n11 – 14\n15 – 17\nOpen Class 18+ / Adult heat\n\nRacing:\n\nAll cars must start by gravity without aide from a standstill\, at a starting line or a starting ramp on the track\, positioned so that their foremost parts\, or noses\, are the starting points.\nAny necessary repairs as approved by the Race Director will be limited to twenty (20) minutes unless the Race Director determines more time is necessary for safety reasons.\nDrivers must stop their racer anytime an animal\, person\, or debris creates interference on the track. The phase is to be immediately rerun.\nA participant’s car may be raced by one other racer. (both racers must be registered with all forms signed and on file 24 hours prior to race day)\n\nCar Inspection:\nThe following SAFETY items will be inspected: Weights\, Brakes\, Steering\, and foam per respective car build plans. For driver safety\, ensure proper helmet fit and function. Other inspection points will be identified prior to race inspection at the Race Director’s discretion. \nSafety Requirements:\n\nAll cars must be built to meet the highest safety standards.\nEach vehicle is required to pass a pre-race inspection conducted by race officials before being allowed on the course.\nRace officials reserve the right to inspect any car at any time during the event.\nIf a car is deemed unsafe at any point\, it may be removed from competition to ensure the safety of all participants.\n\nBuild Requirements:\nThe maximum distance from the nose of the floorboard or the to the kingpin center is 7 15/16”. The distance between the kingpins centers is 61 1/8” +/- 1/16”. (the kingpin is the bolt or rod that passes vertically through the center of the front axle\, allowing it to rotate slightly for steering) \nWeight Limitations:\nWeight of an assembled Creative Cruiser or Z-Class car must not exceed three hundred (300) pounds. \nAttire:\n\nParticipants must wear adequate foot protection with a continuous sole while racing.\nParticipants must wear a helmet in proper racing position.\nParticipants must wear adequate and appropriate clothing.\n\nGeneral Conduct:\n\nDrivers should get plenty of practice behind the wheel — working on braking\, steering\, and handling the car.

Maximum width: 5 feet\, measured from the outermost points of the car.\n2. Maximum length: 12 feet\, including any bumpers or extended components.\n3. Must be able to clear the ramp\n4.

Foot\, hand\, or friction-style brakes are allowed.\nBrakes must be able to hold the car when stationary.\n\nSteering:\nSteering mechanisms must be responsive and allow the car to stay within lane boundaries. Turning radius should be reasonable and stable (no sharp over-steering). Kingpin-style or other creative systems are allowed as long as they are safe and predictable. IMPORTANT: Front steering may only have a 1/2” gap in turn. Cars with a larger turning radius will be disqualified. \nSteering Safety Tips\n\nAlways limit how far wheels can turn to avoid flipping or oversteering.\nSecure all linkages with locking nuts or cotter pins.\nTest turning radius and return-to-center behavior before race day.\nAvoid steering designs that bind\, wobble\, or rub against the frame.\nDriver should practice multiple time behind the wheel braking\, steering\, etc. Race Day should NOT be the first time in the car driving.\n\nAdditional Build Requirements\n\nPadding & Edges: Please pad any hard edges inside the car where a driver might make contact.

This is to ensure fair competition and accessibility.\nSecure Construction: All parts must be firmly attached—no loose panels\, bolts\, or unsecured components. All materials used should be strong enough to safely carry the driver down the course.\nNo Power Allowed: Cars must be gravity-powered only—no motors\, pedals\, or push assists once the race starts.\nTow Eyebolts: A sturdy\, large 1 inch eyebolt must be securely positioned at the front of the car to allow towing up the hill.\nDriver Identification: Drivers will be assigned numbers\, which must be worn visibly on their uniforms. Numbers on the cars are for decoration and design purposes only and will not be used for identification.\nCars must have a minimum of three wheels in contact with the track at all times for stability and safety.\nCars must be powered solely by gravity—no kinetic energy storage\, wind assistance\, motors\, pedals\, or any form of propulsion is allowed.\nCars must have functional brakes capable of bringing the vehicle to a complete stop in a controlled manner.

Conservation Districts are non-regulatory\, we’re here to help you implement best practices for conserving local natural resources\, not to fine you for not using best practices. \nKnown in various parts of the country as “soil and water conservation districts\,” “resource conservation districts\,” “natural resource districts\,” “land conservation committees” and similar names\, we share a single mission: to coordinate assistance from all available sources—public and private\, local\, state and federal—in an effort to develop locally-driven solutions to natural resource concerns.
