That's a bummer, but I guess conflicts in schedules will happen. Hopefully, we'll get some of the younger dens' parents to help set up, too. They really need to start taking over...

Here are some details on the Pinewood Derby. I will cover this on Friday at the pack meeting, but you'll need to know some of this beforehand, so please read!
Setup will be Friday at 2:30pm for anyone who can make it to help. We will also need volunteers for Saturday AM. Please RSVP if you can help.
Our pack meeting will be Friday at 6:30pm (class A uniforms). Following that, we will have the track open for test runs. We will also have the scales, measuring kits, and some tools/weights available.
Sat, Jan 14, Kula Community Center
Weighting & repair station: 9:30am - 11am (leave enough time to make adjustments)
Check-in: 10-11am (ends at 11am sharp)
Race starts: 11:30am
Potluck lunch - bring mess kits and a dish to share
Class B uniforms
I really don't want to make the race too competitive, but some boys work really hard on their cars, so we do want it to be fair to everyone. We will disqualify (DQ) cars that do not meet the specifications. Late check-ins will be DQed as well. DQed cars can still race, but will not win awards.
Rules are attached. PLEASE READ THEM! Here are the main things:
1) Your car must meet the specifications in the gray box on the rules. There are more rules than that, but those are the main things. We will weigh and measure them at check-in. Don't forget about the clearance requirements, too.
2) Your kit consists of 9 major parts: the block, 4 nails, and 4 wheels. You must use those parts, and the nails must go into the slots on the block essentially unmodified. You can make any part of the block as narrow as you want, but the 2 nail slots must be the original width. Note that there is a front and a back, and all cars must race forwards.
3) We will give you a sticker with your number. Feel free to use the decals in your kit instead, but wait until AFTER your number is assigned at check-in to apply them.
4) No wet paint on the track. Plan accordingly.
Car kits have been distributed. Please let me know if you still need one or have extras. They are also for sale at Maui Sporting Goods in Wailuku.
Suggestions: Paint your car BEFORE putting the wheels on. After your car is ready, put it away so it doesn't get damaged as a play toy.
If you are really tool-challenged, this does not need to be traumatic. A hand coping saw, some sandpaper, and whatever artistic decorations you want are all it takes. Some washers or fishing weights and a glue gun will get your car up to weight, and we can help you with this Friday/Saturday. In addition to the race, we will have voting on the coolest car, too.
