VROOM VROOM!!! Ready…Set…Impound & Go! Pinewood Derby Reminders For This Weekend

Posted on by

Hello Pack 934 Families,

Good evening!  Please see below for the Pinewood Derby Reminders:

Friday, 2/14 at 6pm

  • The car impound will take place tomorrow night on  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 http://www.pack934.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Pack-934-PWD-Rules.pdf
  • 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 placed in the holding area.   It will be impounded and cannot be touched again until race time.  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 on Saturday.
  • If your car is not impounded by Friday, 2/14 at 8pm, it will not be eligible to race on Saturday, 2/15.
