The Pinewood Derby is when you put together an official Boy Scout derby car and race it ( using only gravity to propel your car) down the track.  A very special guest will be passing out the cars at our December pack meeting to your Scout.

Time trials for the race are on 3/2/2012 6:30 pm - 8:30 pm. at the ROCK at the corner of Byron Center Rd. and 84 th.  

The race will be held on 3/3/2012 and is organized by the age group participating.  Please see the handout for details of when your child will be racing. 

If you could not attend the December pack meeting and are in need of a "Car Kit" contact Carl @ 616-581-2309 or email c_kohlhoff@yahoo.com
