Pinewood Sections
Scout Site Index / Awards / Cars / Software / Track & Timers / Rules / Feedback / Links  Does your Pack or Troop need or want a website. We provide FREE space for scouting sites. INTRODUCTION
This is the Pinewood
Derby Page. Currently it contains some information on awards, the cars, the
track, a Pinewood Derby software program for managing the racing, and a feedback
section. Let me know if there is other info you'd like to have added.
Our current plans are to make track plans and finish line information available through this page in the near future. Drop us a note if you're interested. To the left is questions and answers section that you can post questions in and community members will be able to help you with answers. Just join to "community" to be able to join in. Its fast & easy and lets you help each other out. Before we start, please read this. It aptly illustrates the true essence of the Pinewood Derby. Just Don't Cry!

Here we've got a few sample cars, some rules, and an offer to make your best Pinewood designs famous.
If you've got a dynamite car that you'd like displayed in our archives, please ask your parents and send a picture along with your name and pack number to us at AgentZ - Scout Archives, P.O. Box 8521, CA 92515-8521 or e-mail a picture with your information. We can't guarantee all pictures will be posted. If you'd like your picture returned after we scan it in, please provide return postage.
 Some typical Pinewood entries Here are some images of cars others have created. (You can have your Pinewood creation shown on our site. Click on the link above to see how.) Remember that although parents can help, it is better to let the scout do most of the work. If there are frustrated parents that are mechanical engineers (at heart) it is better to set up a competition strictly for the adults, separate from the kids competition. Not only is it patently unfair for adult built cars to compete against the kids but we feel that it flys in the face of the spirit of the competition. Let the kids be kids and compete fairly, head-to head. Let the Big Kids (adults) compete on their own level. What we've found is that each year, the boys become more comfortable with each piece of the car and assembly. Let them learn the tools and techniques on their own. Don't crush their fragile egos by making them compete against you! |
| Our tech inspection tools are scales with 0.1 ounce accuracy and our magic box (plans forthcoming).
Scales to make sure the weight limit is not exceeded and the magic box checks the height, width and
wheelbase.
