Video of a Super-Fast Pinewood Derby Track
Cub Scouts competing in a pinewood derby in Indiana didn’t get to see much of the action. The giant track made the cars zip by so fast, you could only hear them.
The Crossroads of America Council built the track inside the Indiana State Museum. The track was more than two stories tall and 125 feet long — almost as long as a Boeing 737 airplane.
WOW is that thing TWO stories tall?
i am gowing to do my first race i will win
this race track is super fast and it would be really cool to be able to use that for my pinewood derby races.
it’s cool
it was cool
its been ages since i have don that stuff
our troop shuold get 1 its only 35 feet
whenever you pinewood derby race, if your weight limit at the greatest is 5.0 grams, and your limit at the least is 1.0 grams, go for 1.0 . less weight means less friction. less friction means more speed. i made the mistake of 5.0 grams and i didn’t get a trophy. seriously, try the least weight possible.
Cj,that’s not true. If you don’t have enough weight,then you won’t get as much of gravity’s pull,and won,t go as fast.
cj,the more weight you have the faster your car will go. tip put the weight in the back of your car.
PINEWOOD DERBY CAR’S ARE THE FASTEST CAR’S ON PLANT EARTH! In thare scale of 1.24 to 1.25, And raced on thare track lenth of 35ft to 45ft. At 2.5sec at 288mph! (give or take the speed a little!) It’s faster then a pro drag car,in thare scale and track lenth!!!
that is awsome
They were going REALLY fast. When I did my pinewood derbies I won 1st & 2nd.
