Bumble Bee Rules are the same as Hornet rules as far as building the vehicle. The only change is that if the car is going to be driven by a female only, the car is to be painted pink with black stripes. If the car is going to be shared in the Hornet and Bumble Bee classes, it can be either color. There is going to be a first time driving class and the Bumble Bee’s will run with this group. At the time that there are enough Bumble Bee’s to have their own races we will split them off by themselves. At all times, the Bumble Bee’s will be scored on their own. Also, the first Bumble Bee to cross the finish line will receive a trophy no matter how many Hornets are in front of it.
