It has been years since I helped my sons build pinewood derby cars of their own, but now my oldest grandson is in scouts and getting ready for his first pinewood derby. I remebered that were were "tricks" you could use (if you can call normal "physics" a bag of tricks). This book contained a LOT of useful information and tips for the construction of both a fast car and a good looking car. I wish I had had this book 25 years ago!

This book provides information on how to build a pinewood derby car. The tips are easy to follow and most easy to perform. This book is great for first-time derby builders.

I'm not the handiest person when it comes to woodworking. This book gives you awesome tips and it puts them in very easy to follow terms with lots of pictures. The book gives three levels of performance. I followed most from the lowest level, and added some from the top two levels as the rules allowed. Much to my pleasant surprise, my son's car (yes, we worked on it together) won his troop's Pinewood Derby and came in 3rd at Districts. This book allowed me to be a helpful dad. For that, I'm very grateful.
