Summary: Great Info and Ideas
Comment: 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!

Summary: All you need to help your child WIN the Pinewood Derby!
Comment: 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.

Summary: Extremely helpful for novice cub parents
Comment: This detailed and easy to read book was helpful for the first year Cub scout parents enetering into the Pinewood Derby. The derby is about parents and sons building a car TOGETHER and "doing your best," which is why I bought the book. After reading my local rules, I adhered to the book and avoided the nightmare check-in entries I witnessed at the derby. My son didn't win for speed (he did win best design), but won 2 of 3 heats and most importantly he had fun. I enjoyed watching him and knew our car was competitive and didn't have to make any last minute adjustments.

Summary: Good solid book for building a quick car
Comment: There is a ton of information on the net about building a fast pinewood derby car. This book covers in pretty good detail most of the common speed tips and construction methods. By following this book and our district's rules we were able to build several very quick cars. Using the techniciques in this book my son was able to take second in his den and the pack while at the same time setting our pack's track speed record.
