Pinewood Derby

Workshop

Saturdays 9am - 5pm

Sundays 1pm - 5pm

We can help with your

design and we will HELP

YOU cut your car out.

Please bring your

Grand Prix Kit, car

ideas, weights, and a

Smile.

We will only be open

on the following days:

January 11th, 12th, 18th,

19th, 26th Instructions for polishing the wheels and

axles will be available , but you will need

to supply your own fine grit sandpaper. We

recommend 600 - 1200 grit automotive

sandpaper.

On January 5th from 1pm till 5pm we are going to hold a work shop for adults only. We will

be discussing design, construction, speed secretes, balance, going straight, or building a turn

into the car, and how we paint our cars. This will be a discussion presentation only. We

will not be working on cars as we already have three weekends planned for

that. This might be a good idea for first timers to find out some of the

answers before they know what the questions are.
