Pinewood Derby - Weigh-in

Pinewood Derby

Friday
February 8, 2019
6:00-8:00 PM
Immanuel Lutheran Church

Description

Originally scheduled January 25, this event was re-scheduled to February 1 and then to February 8 due scheduling conflicts on the track and the space.

The pre-event weigh-in is where we check and adjust the weight of the cars to ensure that no car exceeds the maximum weight of 5 ounces.

  • Bring the cars to the weigh-in without the wheels attached (to avoid damage during any weight adjustment), but bring those pieces. The car body, wheels and nails will be weighed together.
  • Cars may not weigh over 5 ounces on the official scale. Cars over the weight limit can have material drilled out of the bottom to reduce their weight.
  • Cars under 5 ounces may be adjusted upwards to 4.9-5.0 ounces by the Scout or the race officials.
  • If you can't be there on the weigh-in night , you can leave your car at Epworth on March 2 (6:30-7:00). If you do this, let us know whether you want weight added to your car and whether you want us to add the wheels after the car's weight is correct.
  • A few of our leaders are needed to help with this.
