The Pinewood Derby was one of the highpoints of my scouting experience...both as a scout and the parent of a scout. I participated in my first Pinewood derby when the race was less than 5 years old! It has come a along way...and at the same time it is the same!

To give back, for what I received from that experience…I wrote and just released a book about the Derby called "Pinewood-Winning by the Rules" ISBN 978-1-60911-153-3. It shows that the “BIG race” can be won by sticking to the rules…Isn’t that what scouting is all about?

My son was district champ for 3 years in a row and he did that by following every rule and doing his best. It is available on Amazon, Barnes and Noble or Borders websites…also through my website www.PinnacleCarRacing.com
