Welcome to Pinewood Derby Central

We've collected a lot of documents and resources for the derby and thought it would be helpful to keep them posted all year round.

So, this page will be dedicated to all pinewood derby information. If you have some information that you'd like to post or wish were posted, please contact the our Derby Chair, Bill, at, derby@pack379online.com


Technical Inspection, #1
January 9th, 2009 FSE Cafeteria

  • Each car must pass inspection by the Official Race Committee on Tech Night before it may compete.
  • Tech Night is January 9. This is not a Pack Night.
  • Bring extra materiel such as weights and screws or glue so that fine tuning with the official scale can be made
  • The scale used at the race is the official scale, and all cars must pass weigh-in on the official scale.
  • If a car does not pass inspection, the racer will be informed of the problem and given an opportunity to fix his car and present it to the Derby Committee at a time to be determined.
  • After Technical inspection the car will be impounded until race day.
