Bisbee Coaster Races

05/31/2026

Our first Warren Cutoff Trial Run was a success! 17 coasters qualified, couple small mechanical issues identified in tech inspection and resolved. Couple drivers requiring reruns, but successful! Also, got to test our new timing system which was a success!! Thank you to all of our volunteers, parents and drivers!

Our next trial run is June 13th 6-12 at the Warren Cutoff.

We would also like to add, while we understand the road closure is mildy inconvenient, PLEASEEE be mindful in the area of the trial run. Lots of traffic both on foot and in vehicles with coaster being loaded and unloaded.

Thanks!!

Greetings all!

Please see the rules below prior to arriving at the first practice run, they are the same (yes, dated 2025, but the same) and have not changed. We dislike (it isn't fun for anyone) not passing coasters through tech inspection, but we have to comply with these rules! So please, review the rules, dust off and shine up your coasters and give them a good check over to make sure every is in good, compliant, working order. If you have questions please message us!

Good morning all!

We had our meeting last night and we have CONFIRMED our practice run dates as follows:

5/30 Warren Cutoff
6/13 Warren Cutoff
6/27 Tombstone Canyon

Please make sure ALL drivers attend at least 1 Warren Cutoff trial run. ALL drivers must attend the Tombstone Canyon run. These are MANDATORY prerequisites to be able to race. For all 3 trial runs we ask that all coaster/drivers arrive at 6am so we can start getting coasters inspected, weighed and lined up for their trial runs.

As always, feel free to message us with questions! And we are always accepting of donations and looking for volunteer help!

Thank you and have a wonderful Bisbee Day!
