Pinewood Derby Rules

Posted on Nov 3 2024 - 2:24pm

Pack

Message:

Please see attached for the full list of pinewood derby rules that our pack follows*.

The key rules that must be followed:

1) All cars must be less then or equal to 5oz on the official scale. The shop scales are only for guidance. The official scale shall be calibrated to a 200 gram standard weight.

2) All cars must meet length, width, height requirements. Pay close attention bottom clearance of 3/8in where we run into issues each year.

3) BSA axles, BSA wheels, and BSA body wood from the BSA kit must be used to be eligible for scout trophies. Hobby Lobby car kits are not the offical kit and will be DQed or placed in the open division. If there were any substitutions, please inform the check in person and you/your scout can still race in the "open/adult" division but just not be eligible for trophies. We give 1st-3rd place medals in the open/adult division instead of trophies.

4) No cars with wet lubricants, glue or paint will be allowed to be checked in. These WILL damage other cars and the track.

5) While selecting a design, please ensure there is a 1/4" flat nose in the middle of the car for the starting pin to make contact with the car. Any asymmetric cars without a well defined nose will have to be modified before check in.

*Please note - Over the years people have submitted part modifications and since we do not want to turn anyone away we have allowed them to still race in the open/adult division as long as they meet weight and dimension requirements.
