Pinewood Derby Info
Each Den level in the Pack will race among itself. All competitors must follow the Knox Trail Council Viking District rules.
In particular, the car must be constructed entirely by the scout and his helper, and must use the components in the official BSA kit. No professionally constructed cars or professionally modified components may be used. Only the slightest smoothing of the official wheels is permitted -- no reshaped or lathe turned wheels are allowed. Cars that violate the rules will be disqualified.
Following the Den races and overall Pack champion race, we will have races where siblings or parents can participate.
Concurrent with the races, a “style committee” will judge the cars on appearance; and ribbons for design will be awarded.
The top three race finishers from each den level will be eligible to participate in the Knox Trail Viking District Pinewood Derby Race, which will be on Saturday evening, April 10th, 2010 at the John M. Barry Boys and Girls Club in Newton. If one of the top three can not attend, the 4th place finisher from that level may participate in their place.
