You can buy a car online that is guaranteed to win.

It's been awhile, but I came across a site fore a guy that would sell you a car and guarantee it would win. He would even volunteer to come to an event, if near by, and discuss the rules with anyone who challenged the car you bought. If there was a pre-screen or pre-weigh and they didn't want to qualify the car, he would go to bat for you.

So. . . there's that.

I helped cut and sand. I drilled the holes the weights and helped him glue on additional weights when were still light.

I don't think I'll be much better but still look forward to it when my boy is older.

I took 1st and 2nd place at the last one. My boys were super proud.

I've had that video saved on a playlist since my boy was 2. It's never too early to prepare. 🙂

That video is gold. I was surprised at how many people didn't do anything

4/26/18 4:48pm

It's perfect - super easy to understand, so you can learn the principles. And the tips aren't difficult at all.

Some wards do that.

Our ward only does the derby once every three years, so you only get one shot.

We had an EQ activity that was Pinewood Derby. The men LOVED it.
