Drinking and Driving ... Pinewood derby style

Thought I would share some photos with you guys. A few of us Hambers have started a once a month Pinewood Derby event at our local bar, the Bigfoot Lodge. It's the last Tues. of every month if anybody in the Los Angeles area is interested. 21 and older of course.

Check out the pics taken by photographer Ken Scott:

that track looks a little more fun then the one at our church

 

Cool!

 

Maybe see you there, Bobby -- coming out to LA last week of May/

 

looks like fun

 

What are the rules? Boy Scout Pinewood kit? same weight and wheels?

Thats fuckin awesome... Great pics! Sure beats all the bullshit stuff they do at bars around here...

 

Way cooler than the "Guitar Hero" stuff they do around here!
I've got a track in my garage (I'm a Cubmaster) and I've been toying with the idea of an "Adult Pinewood Derby" this summer for local HAMBers... could be fun!

Way Cool - excellent photos

Pinewood - was the first organized race I was in.

 

Hey, isn't that bar in the movie "Yes Man" with Jim Carey??

Rad photos

 

RAD! That sounds like a blast!

So... what are the rules???

 

KOOL!
I was just in the Hobby Works yesterday and saw they were selling the Derby kits again, that is just too cool!

Looks like a downright cool bar to hang out at too, the only drawback for me, is there is no Yeungling Lager on tap. Not your fault, its East Coast only brew(side note- I was surprised while visiting a friend in Vegas, one bar actually had it imported, at 7 bucks a bottle )
Yeungling is prolly the only thing that keeps me from movin' out west...well, that and family...maybe.
I wonder if I can convince the owner of my local haunt to host something like this...

 

Awesome! Wish i lived closer so I could attend.

 

That woodie car is wild !

 

Here are the rules. You can buy a kit at the bar, or at your local boy scout store

 

Yes, Same bar. Good eye. But they actually built an exact replica of the entire bar on a sound stage for the movie. Crazy huh.

 

Man... That is awesome. Great photo work by the way!

 

Bobby Green, This is by far the coolest bar event I have ever seen.

 

Thanks for posting this Bobby! I will do this one of these days! Looks like a blast!!

 

Great pics and a great ideal, Looks like a lot of fun!!!

 

The crazy thing people do. Thats too bad, they should have filmed on loaction and had you guys in the background haha.

 

So.... I just so happen to still have my car from when I was a kid. It's 4.8 oz and made right from the kits... Can I run it? She's seen her better days, but maybe she due for a comeback... Has been run in about 22 years.

 

Very cool stuff! Looks like a blast...

 

Cool!

 

damn thats across from my gf's best friends house, hopefully when i go up there in june this is still going on

 

That's just cool as HELL...! Love the bar too, looks like something that should be in a national park.
