Event Description: The 2nd Annual NASCARP Davis Ponds Cup takes place at Staunton State Park on Saturday, May 31st, 2025 . Teams of two drivers (and their pit crews) assemble at the Ranch Hand Picnic Area, listen to a brief welcome and rules review, and then the first driver of each team will be sent off following the waving of the green flag!
Drivers will follow flags to run an approximately 2-mile loop course (see course graphic below). At the halfway point of each loop, each team's drivers will fish at the Davis Ponds until they catch / release a fish (using proper Keep Fish Wet protocol) or until their per lap 20 minute fishing time limit has expired (and they are assessed an additional "NO FISH" time penalty). Once a fish picture has been shown to the pond marshall, drivers will complete the running loop by returning to the Ranch Hand Picnic Area where they will "refuel" and then hold the empty refueling vessel upside-down (with minimal spillage) to release their teammate for Lap #2. Drivers on each team will alternate until 6 laps have been run, 6 fish caught / released (or "NO FISH" penalties assessed), and 6 refueling beverages have been consumed. The team with the overall lowest time (final time plus any "NO FISH" penalties assessed) in each Division will be crowned champion and showered with glory. Divisions will include Unleaded (non-alcoholic refueling beverages) and Leaded (alcoholic refueling beverages).

What is the point of NASCARP- Davis Ponds Cup?
Aside from creating a fun team Flyathlon environment, the Davis Ponds Cup raises money for Greenback cutthroat trout conservation. During registration, we will ask our NASCARP teams to commit to recruiting "team sponsors" and hitting a minimum fundraising threshold, in part through those sponsorships. We envision that our teams will have great fun with this portion of the event by creating team-specific sponsor-emblazoned NASCARP-style pit shirts.
