Rules and Background
Pinewood kits are available at most of the local hobby stores as well as the scout store.
Cars must be built/finished by the boys with ASSISTANCE of the parent.
Cars must run on official BSA wheels and axles.
Cars cannot be over 5 ounces total.
The post office has a scale that should be pretty close.
Any shape as long as it runs on the track and fits in the 2.5 x 7 inch box
No wheel bearings, washers or bushings allowed.
No spring suspension.
No starting device.
Dry lubricant only
There is a good book available at the scout store that will help with more ideas.
I am looking for the software, track, scales and box from last year.
I will need a couple of volunteer’s to run the scale, judge, inspect, and start.
