Awana Grand Prix and Pinewood Derby racing - Where a child, an adult and a small block of wood combine for a lot of fun and memories.

...unlike the scout event the Nerdy Derby has no rules...

Yes. It appears well made - I wonder if it is available commercially.

I suppose the cars can get some speed from such a high starting point. Is it possible to design a car that would leave the track when going over the hump? :scratching: What is the optimal CoM placement for racing on such a track?
