(MITCHELL) - After receiving approval at the August Mitchell City Council meeting last week, organizers of the annual Hillbilly 500 race have decided to cancel the event.
The Times-Mail reports that Josh Drake planned to take over the downhill cart race from the Mitchell Lions Club as a part of the FIRST Robotics Team 5403, Aluminosity, based in the StoneGate Arts & Education Center. His goal was to bring awareness of the robotics club so more Mitchell students would join the effort.
Drake says unfortunately due to scheduling conflicts and time constraints the event was canceled.
Drake says they will run the race next year.
