Have you ever dreamed of hurtling down a steep icy hill on a big slab on concrete? Welcome to the Concrete Toboggan Team! Our team of undergraduate engineering students design, construct and race a toboggan that must hold five students! The toboggan must have a concrete sliding surface, a steering system, a braking apparatus, a protective roll-cage, and must be less than 300 pounds. Teams from across the country gather every winter to present their creations and participate in the annual Great Northern Concrete Toboggan Race (GNCTR)! The Concrete Toboggan Team is always looking for interested, committed, and hard-working students to join the team. The team is open to students from all engineering programs. We welcome everyone with any level of experience – we all started out with no idea with what we were doing!
