Pinewood Derby Details (Mandatory Car Impound on 2/14 & Race on 2/15)

Hello Pack 934 Families,

Good evening!  Please see below for the Pinewood Derby Details

Friday, 2/14 at 6pm
  • The car impound will take place next Friday, February 14th, from 6 – 8 pm, in the Family Life Center at Mt Tabor UMC (the big gym).  For those who are not familiar with impound, this process includes the car being checked to ensure it meets requirements to race.
  • The dimensions, weight, axle slots and tires are all looked over and measured to ensure they meet the guidelines. Please click the following link to ensure you are in compliance

  • You will be told the weight and you may step to the work “bench” to make modifications as you deem appropriate to complete the car before 8pm.  When your car is finalized it will be assigned a number and put in the holding area.   It cannot be touched again until race time. (impound).  Once the car is impounded the only people to touch the car are the Boy Scout “runners”, the staff only when they need to touch a car for race purposes and your child when they place it on the track.  Every car that will be racing must be impounded by 8pm Friday.

  • One of the Boy Scouts from our very own Troop 934 is coordinating food, drink, and snack sales for race day to earn money for his Eagle Project.  There will be breakfast and coffee available for purchase from 8-11 AM.  Around 11:15 it will be transitioned to lunch items being offered until approximately 1 PM, at which time there will be only snacks available.  Let’s all offer our support to this great cause by purchasing snacks and drinks in the kitchen, if you’re able. Please bring cash!

Please let me know if you have any questions!
