Race a Billy Cart

Racing a billy cart isn't tricky. Here are some simple steps to help you learn to race a billy cart.

Steps

  1. Work out who pushes the billy cart for each lap and who steers it for each lap of your race.
  2. Work out some tactics. It could be useful if one of you is a practiced cross-country runner and has had some experience. Example of tactics: Start off slow, then you can go faster at this turn. When you get to this corner you need to brake and steer right but not too far, because then there's a turn on the left and it's very sharp.
  3. Exercise. Practice. Train. It's not just about the steering tactics, but you also need to stay fit if you're going to be running 3 laps of the school for each person in your team!
  4. Work out what you're uniform will look like and prepare it.
  5. Show confidence to your opponents.
  6. Get someone to videotape your race so that you can watch your race again when you win or learn from your mistakes when you lose.
