This glorified doorstop with plastic wheels? Oh, it only took me about 900 hours to construct. Don’t worry, I’m going to write about it in excruciating detail … so you have that to look forward to. (Listen, don’t roll your fucking eyes at me; you know you love it when I take what should be a two-sentence story and use 1,800 words to tell it.)

Hey, I’m grown up. That was my post office box number until I downsized from jumbo box to teeny-tiny.
This kind of makes me laugh. My own dad actually spent a good amount of time making a pinewood derby with my brother. He was all excited when he realized that, if you make the front of it “skinnier” and longer… then you get like an inch head start because it can roll forward before the fatter cars. Or something like that. Don’t quote me. Good luck in the races!
Pinewood Derby flashback.
69? Seriously? Can’t wait to read this one.

For serious? My daughter made one when she was 8 it only took her a couple of hours. She is a gifted child.
Snort.
My kids have always taken 1st or 2nd at those things but that is because they take after their father (Physics/cello major).
I would probably show up with one wheel missing and the body would be rusted out.

My brother took 1st place and grand prize every year. My dad was an engineer. Cheating? You be the judge.
Is that really a big thing in the USA? Pinewood derby races? I never heard of it. Is it a boy scout thing?
Can’t wait!!! Love your style!
OH, yeah, my son has done the Pinewood Derby the last two years. Won 1st and 2nd place and his Dad is an Engineer, I wouldn’t call it cheating, just helpful tips.
Also, if you are in Indiana, take a trip to the Indiana State Museum where they set up the longest track in the world. It’s really cool!

We are blissfully not in the school or cub scout project phase. I don’t like this handy-man glimpse into the future.

Hope to see you at the 3rd Annual Indiana State Museum Pinewood Derby, where we have the world’s fastest track…and probably the tallest and longest, as well! There is a giant screen showing cars’ converted speeds, up to 240 mph, and scouts from all over the midwest come to compete!
Saturday afternoon is when we host true finals; Thursday – Sunday are “fun runs”. Cars must be officially weighed and registered between 9 and 1 p.m. Saturday.
See you at the races!
Remember that line from Bill & Ted’s? I didn’t know it was bad until I repeated to my mother… “Guess what my favorite number is, dude?”
