For the January 29 pack Pinewood Derby, we'll be doing things a bit
differently. Instead of having everyone packed into the room waiting for their turn to race, come by in the morning and register your car and then come back later when it's your turn to race. Of course you're
welcome to stay and watch any race you'd like. The schedule is as follows:

The Pit Stop Cafe will have food available for breakfast and lunch.

Registration closes promptly at 9:30 am. Late registrations cannot be
accepted. Make sure you're there early -- the lines at the registration table are always longest toward the end of the registration period.

Once your car is registered it will be placed on the impound table and
cannot be touched again until after the race, so take care of any lubing and final tweaks before you register.

The Open race is for anyone related to a Cub Scout to enter. Brothers,
sisters, neighbors, or whoever, they can all enter the Open race. The
Leaders race includes all the leaders in the pack, including the Boy
Scouts serving as den chiefs.

The final race will determine the fastest cars in the pack. The 1st,
2nd, and 3rd place winners from each of the Cub Scout divisions (Tiger, Wolf, Bear, and Webelos) need to return at 12:30 to race in the finals.

The workmanship judging will take place from 9:30-9:45, so stick around after registration to get your ballots in.

Adam Kalsey will have the official scale at his house starting Jan 22, so if you want to make sure your car is right at 5 ounces, him a call and stop by to weigh your car.
