Re: Classic car woe
I don't try to make it look easy, it is the only way we have built cars. We don't know any other ways.

Legality of PWD car with 1/25th scale model body
I know most DerbyTalkers are involved with the running of their individual derbies. For those with rule creation and inspection experience, this question is for you. If you have no expertise in this I also would like to hear what you think. If a scout came in with a car made from a 1/25th scale mode...

Re: Carl Casper's 1969 Phone Booth Model T.
Mark, I had totally forgot about those plans until I saw the title of this post. You did an excellent job of re-creating this car in pinewood derby scale! For the others that have never seen the original, here are some pictures I dug up while I was doing the design for Mark’s plans. The first is the...

Re: New BSA public service announcements, one featuring the
Mark is correct, Noah did help me with the builds. These 4 cars were built in 10 days, with my regular job this was a huge undertaking. But the ideas they presented to me seemed worth it. Here is a view of the cars from the BSA website that Mark (Whodathunkit) linked to: http://home.comcast.net/~adh...

Re: Hints for detecting lightened wheels?
Here is a drawing we used in our rules a couple of years back, it shows what you could work and what you cannot work. This seemed to work well, for the people that need visual help (don’t know if this one is worth a thousand words).

Re: tips for 56' Best Track race?
It is Warren's track (Mr. Slick), he used to use a 64' BestTrack but replaced it with the new 56'. Looks like he hasn't visited DerbyTalk since 2012.

Re: - FOUND - My Vintage Pinewood Derby Cars
Unfortunately I did not run the car down the track, would have been a good idea. This won’t be the last time we do the derby for this Pack. So I will be back, this time I will run the car down the track.
Thanks for the idea Whoda.

Re: - FOUND - My Vintage Pinewood Derby Cars
Today, 3/15/14 I left early this morning to do a Pinewood Derby with Harmon Race Management, this was with a new pack, at a new church. We were at breakfast before the derby and I looked up, on my iPhone, where the Cornerstone Church was located. It was at this moment, when I realized what this chur...

Re: 2014 car 1956 Chevrolet Nomad
Thanks guys for your comments on the car. On average, how much time is invested in the building of one of your cars? Depending on the car between 10 to 40 hours, it depends a lot on the design time, the difficulty in creating decals and the amount of detail I decide to re-create in the car. I had ov...
