Pinewood Derby

Although mostly associated with the Cub Scouts, anyone can put on a Pinewood Derby for a fun activity. There is some real planning involved like securing a track and having people show up with cars they previously built. The key is really finding a track, they are around, you just have to start asking. For the car kits, they can easily be ordered online. Following the official regulations of size and weight are a good idea because you can put weights on the cars that dramatically affect the outcome.
