The time is nearly here for the Annual Pinewood Derby, a very exciting time for our pack. Here's the info you need on the race and events leading up to it.
- January 19th starting at 6:00 we'll be doing some initial weigh-ins. This is the night to come check out your car, make sure it's close on weight and clearance.
- January 20th at about 6:30 we'll be assembling the track, we'll be looking for adults to help because the track hasn't gotten lighter over the years. If we have volunteers I'd like to have a table for check-ins also.
- January 21st at 6:30pm we'll be having our annual pre-race movie night, we will be testing the track and doing final check-ins for cars. After this, we will not be checking-in cars so this is the time.
- January 22nd is the day, we'll open the doors to scouts at 11am when they will have their chance to vote for best car in the various classes. Racing will begin at noon and usually goes till about 3pm.
Some important points
- Scouts are expected to stay till then end to help cleanup, the more help we have the faster it goes.
- Cars will be checked in on the 21st as the latest, this allows us to stage them for judging. There is a lot of things going on the 22nd, we won't be able to do last minute check-in.
- The Masons will be once again be sharing our event with their CT-CHIP program, please stop by with your children to take advantage of it, for details: http://ctchip.org/index.php/about.html
- We're going to try something new this year, live streaming of the event if possible. The URL will be http://www.ustream.tv/channel/pack-61-pinewood-derby we hope to use it so you can share the excitement of the Derby with those that can't attend.
