The Area IV small engines contest will take place Wednesday, March 11th at the Southern Livestock Arena in Baton Rouge. Registration will start at 8:00 am and the contest will begin at 9:00 am. THERE WERE SOME MAJOR CHANGES TO THE CONTEST THIS YEAR SO PLEASE MAKE YOURSELVES FAMILIAR WITH THEM. A coin toss will determine which team members compete in assembly and which compete in troubleshooting. The Parts ID portion of the contest will be utilizing the parts manual from the 950 engines (new engines). Every competitor should bring a copy of this parts manual with them to the contest. Also each competitor should have a parts manual for their specific engine. This manual will be used for trouble shooting and if it is decided that the assembly portion of the contest will have missing parts. The parts manuals can be found on the Louisiana FFA website under the small engines section of the CDE/LDE portion of the website. Also please bring sharpened pencils for the test and parts ID portions of the contest. Team members should be familiar with all rules concerning the contest, especially the ones concerning safety. Qualifying teams should have their troubleshooting engines either shipped or brought to me no later than Thursday March 5th in order to have sufficient time to bug the engines. Motors should be free of all oil and gas and have the school name and team name on the box as well as on the engine itself (Ex: Walker High/ Blue Team) The motors can be shipped or delivered by hand to the following address.
