Welcome to your Pack 42’s Pinewood Derby headquarters.
Here you will find race rules, registration instructions and results.

We have updated the Derby rules from last year. Please be sure to read them before beginning to work on your race cars. In order to maintain a fair and competitive race these rules will be enforced from check-in inspection thru the race. Any car that fails to meet the rules during inspection will not be allowed entry into the race, however you will be given the chance to modify your car to meet the rules during check-in. If rules violations are found at any time after check-in to the end of the event the car may be disqualified at the discretion of the race officials. If you have any questions regarding the rules or legality of a potential modification please contact Ben Ripson our Pinewood Derby Chairperson
