Good morning!

I wanted to let everyone know about a Derby Workshop we will have on Tuesday, January 16th.  This workshop will give you and your scout an opportunity to cut in the rough design of your Pinewood Derby car, do some sanding, possibly set your axles, etc.  You likely would NOT be able to complete the car at this workshop, but you can get a good start.  Note, the way the calendar falls this year, there will only be a week and a half after the 16th to have your car completed by the race.  For some, this workshop may not leave enough time to complete your car. I am not sure if there is anyone else in the Pack with resources that might wish to open their home/garage/workshop up prior to the 16th, on a different day or weekend.  If so, please feel free to respond to this email with a date and time you would be willing to do so.

Attached are the Pinewood Derby build rules to ensure a "legal" car.
