Drinking and Driving ... Pinewood derby style

Discussion in 'The Hokey Ass Message Board' started by Bobby Green, Apr 30, 2009.

  1. Looks like a hell of a lot more fun that the Derby I went to with my nephew. And I bet nobody cries when their car looses.
     
  2. Very Cool! Just like when I was in Cub Scouts only with Beer and Broads!

    Sweet! I wonder if I still have my pinewood derby car from when I was a cub scout. Either way, I may have to build one.

    It's a total blast. And you can totally run an old car if you still have it. We've had a few people bring their childhood cars from boy scouts. I sure wish I still had mine.

    WOW, BG. You guys are having WAY too much fun! and it's only Tuesday. How did the mini belly tank do? It looks pisser!! If you ever get bored with the track maybe you could make it go down off the end of the bar and do a loop, just like the old hot wheels!

  18. Bobby,

    Here's a copy of the original pinewood derby plans (found it while doing some research for my oldest son's first car this year):

    Mac,
    That's really cool..... It must be from the 20's or 30's when that was the only style a "Race car" looked like. I've been wanting to build a "Sprint" car style derby car. I'm building a big one, so I'll probably build a replica soon.

    Pinewood derby!, that needs some Youtube coverage.

    Hmmm. I do have a couple of cars...
     
  23. Built this way into the seventies at least.
    Pinewood Derby was developed so the little guys could have a race like their big brothers soap box derby.
