Is everyone hard at work on their cars?  The 2016 Pack 843 Pinewood Derby is just around the corner! Before you begin building, be sure to review the Official Pack 843 Pinewood Derby Rules (pdf)

Just like last year, you are required to use official BSA wheels and the supplied axle nails.  You car cannot exceed 5 ounces, or the dimensions posted in the rules.

Weigh-in for the cars will be held on Saturday, January 16th from 10 AM to Noon at the Oakridge Fire Hall (where we had the Holiday Party).  All cars MUST BE AT THE WEIGH-IN in order to race!  If you are not available at that date and time, please make arrangements with another scout to bring your car to the weigh in.

Races are on Saturday, January 23rd at the Zion Lutheran Church.  Times are set by den level:

10:00 AM Tigers (First Grade)
11:30 AM Wolves (Second Grade)
12:30 PM Bears (Third Grade)
2:00 PM Webelo I (Fourth Grade)
3:00 PM Webelo II (Fifth Grade)
3:30 PM Winner Race

After each race segment, there will be a Sibling’s Race.  Brothers and sisters of the scouts are invited to build a car (or borrow a car) and run race heats!
