@mike
yeah but still it got boring after an hour even if you made a car
and than there are all of the criers and the kids who have their dad make the whole car |

| It's not even worth trying to win.The scout leader's child wins regardless of the derby's results. |

the first year I did the Pinewood Derby the winner had lube on his wheels so he got disqualified P. sure everyone lubed their wheels the next year though |

plus it is luck based
when you get down to 5 cars it is always a tie and they flip a coin to decide on lanes and one lane is a lot better |

@joan
I don't think most of them think of it until they're too old for cub scouts because when you're in 1st-3rd which seems to be how old most of the participants are you just do whatever looks cool not sure if Webelos compete in Pinewood Derby

bambam, is there a limit weight? I don't remember. I remember they gave you weights so your car didn't go off the lane on the way down but I don't remember how much it could weigh.

| I think the weight limit was a few ounces and they made the weights give you the exact limit |
