through the pumpkin

Tips

  • Axles can either be metal or doweling

  • For best results make sure both axles are parallel

  • Any sized wheel can be used, just make sure the whole pumpkin racer is within the size limit mentioned below.

  • To help prevent the pumpkin going bad, it is advisable to add the wheels and axles the night before or the morning of the carnival.  Coating any exposed pumpkin flesh in Vaseline will slow down any rotting.
