Pinewood Derby

Did you know?  A fast Pinewood Derby car can reach a speed of nearly 20 miles per hour.  Pretty good for a little block of wood!  Pinewood Derby kits consist of a block of wood, four nails (axels) and four wheels.  Join us at the Derby to race against other enthusiasts, for bragging rights and a trophy, or simply to test out your car before pinewood derby day.  Trophies will be awarded for the fastest and the most well-designed cars.  Mark your calendar for this night of fellowship, friends and fast cars!
