Tiger Cub (six year olds) Pinewood Derby Cars. The plain wooden one won.
 


Some of the older kid's cars. The black one won.

  1. Good looking cars! Pinewood derby racing success is all in the application of the silicon and control of the suspension.

  2. I found out too late that you need to sand and polish the axles.

  4. Ahh, such fun, i remember pinewood derby well. I seem to recall that the cars that always won were the cars that were low and flat... My champion car was anyhow, basically just a low flat block of wood :)
