Lots of upgrades and improvements to an already Epic Event... if you want to race with the Fastest Scout cars in the United States do not miss this... You can attend in person (and we have special rates set up with local hotels) or you can enter via Proxy.

Corporate Pinewood Derby - May 2nd

All the rules and entry information can be found on the website... There will be some awesome activities at the races as usual - mascots, LEGO track, amazing prizes awarded to all that enter - including those that enter via proxy - even more trophies than last year...

We have special Group Rates set up at

$99 a night.

Any of you that are coming to the race are welcome to Attend our Special Mid America Corporate Derby Event happening on May 2nd - we will provide all the food and Cocktails a great time before the races to relax and have fun before all the racing on May 3rd. Please let me know in advance if you are wanting to come to the Corporate Event - as we will have special passes made up for you. I encourage any of you that would like to support Scouting to enter a car into the Corporate Event - 100% of the proceeds go directly to the Council and Scouting. You can find information on the website about this as well... and you could enter any pro car into this race, it is a very worthy cause, as scouts are probably the direct result of why we are all here.

Good Luck to all of you that enter - if you need anything please let me know. I look forward to seeing many of you at this years event. It is truly a pinewood derby race that is all about Scouting, Families, and Top Level competition.

Also an important note: of those that are in the first 100 entries they will be entered into an exclusive Drawing for a Best Track - Test Track - so I would encourage those of you that are going to enter to get signed up.

In regards to the drawing - each car entered receives an entry into the drawing

Greg-

Great incentive to register early! It got me to enter my car and my kids cars today. Hope we made the top 100! Having a 4 out of 100 shot at winning a best track is terrific!

Yes - just paid, hope we made the top 100 for the special drawing.

[xanthrum]

You guys are all in... and there is room to go... most people enter 30 or less leading up to the event it really helps when we get people to register ahead of time... looking forward to some awesome racing this year.

[Noskills]

Just signed up the family too!
