FACTS
Great Northern Concrete Toboggan Race
The GNCTR began in 1974, as a joint venture between the American Concrete Institute and the University of Alberta. Since its initiation, the GNCTR has challenged its participants to use creativity, skill, and innovation in the design and construction of a concrete toboggan. The 33rd annual Great Northern Concrete Toboggan Race will be held in the first week of February 2007.
Objective
Concrete toboggans are evaluated on various technical and
non-technical aspects including concrete mix design, braking system
design, technical exposition, and aesthetics. To win this competition the
sled must be fast, innovative, and original.
