Pinewood Derby Tips Websites

www.geocities.com/~Pack215/pwd-design.html   list of all kinds of tips, design ideas, building and racing helps; links to lots of expert advice

www.rahul.net/mcgrew/derby/looks.html  great simple tips to help boys with their car

http://www.abunchofoldguysandatrack.com/index.html This is a great site with lots of tips and links for more information.  A shame the "old guys" have given up their track and retired from racing.

The Pope's Place -   http://www.stanpope.net/ Barb and Stan Pope's Place - Pinewood Derby Car racing has been an obsession for me for many years. I have shared the tips and techniques for making pinewood cars faster with my pack members through "work shops" and with other council Scouters through Pow Wow sessions on "Design for Performance."  This site has my text book on the science and technology of Pinewood Derby Race Cars. Where the other books end, this book is just picking up speed. Others tell you what; I tell you what and why and how and where to look for more! For example, did you ever notice the standard advice to "align the wheels?" But my book tells why and how, step by step.  Others tell how to make a fast car using methods that require adult skills. Almost all of the steps presented here are within the skill range of a typical Cub Scout, and the time to accomplish them is within a typical Cub Scout's attention span!  If your car is built and Race Day is nearly here, go directly to the section on Wheel Alignment. It WILL make a BIG difference.

I met Barb and Stan at the Philmont Training center one summer!!  Never can tell who you will meet there,  Check out their site for other great Scouting info, too - CD
