- Hi all, Our Pack has finished pinewood derby for the year. My oldest wanted to go on to district, since it had 8 trophies instead of just 5 for the Pack. He got 6th place. I told him we didn't have t

- Great idea for the pinewood racer. It doesn't seem likely to me that the block shape of a TD would have significant effects on the racer's ability to slip through the air at the speed one expects it

- leader it really doesn't have anything to do with shape. I have seen the craziest shaped cars win over the wedges and rounded racers. It all comes down to weight and wheels. Find a good scale and de

- Good luck, I tried to carve a Lotus 72 back in my day. It eventually ran, unpainted, but I never figured out how to attach the airfoils so they'd stay on. The wheels are a better proportion for the T

- This would certainly be unique. I assume, Paul, that when you say 'I' you mean 'my son and I'... Of course, the cars are supposed to be built by the boys with parental assistance. Having recently mov

- Oh yes. However, there is also and adult race, to keep the Dad's honest. I could go there, if I can't talk them into it. Shouldn't actually be hard to do. My boys do much of the work with the cars. I

- Good to hear. As a Cub Scout, it always annoyed me that some dads seemed to have a competition for who could out-do each other every year. And as these were the dads of kids with no mechanical abili

- Yes, this is quite true. My son built and raced his car in the local Pine wood derby many years ago and even got a trophy for second place. He did most of the work but I did help on two key points -
