Pinewood Derby 2010 Rules


2010 Pinewood Derby Rules.pdf

Our annual Pinewood Derby is coming up Saturday, January 23 2010, at Glaciers Edge Elementary School in Verona! Car weigh-in and impounding on Thursday, January 21 at the pack meeting at Glaciers Edge School; ALL cars racing on Saturday MUST be brought to, and impounded at the Thursday pack meeting. Set up and equipment testing will be on Friday January 22. If you did not pickup a car at the December pack meeting, pick one up from your Den Leader. We will be very strict about the rules, so please read them carefuly, and if you have questions, please feel free to ask your leader or a den leader from a older den.


One of the pack's digital scales will be available at the Verona Public Libary for about a week leading up to the weigh-in. Please try to weigh your car and get it set right before the Pack Meeting to ensure things go smoothly.


There are 100s of car building tips, decals, and extras out there. Search the internet for pinewood derby and you will be overwhelmed. HOWEVER, We want to keep it simple, keep the kids involved, and keep it fair. Please follow the rules above and ensure everyone has fun.
