Pinewood Derby Tips

Please don’t forget to follow the 2019 rules and practice good sportsmanship! Please don’t modify the wheels! Most stickers, paints and supplies can be purchased at Michael’s Crafts near the mall. Some more exotic design elements, lead and tungsten weights can be found on the web. We have personally ordered paints and weights from Hodges Hobby House and been satisfied*.
*NOTE: Their modified axles, wheels, and bodies are ILLEGAL in our district. DO NOT buy them.
