Pinewood Derby
Click HERE to read the Signal's coverage of our 2009 Event!
Date: Sunday, January 30, 2011
Location: Saugus High School.
Description: One of our most popular events, the pinewood derby allows parents and their child to build wooden race cars and race them against others in our Y-Guides nation.
There are important rules that must be followed, so be sure to download and review the event rule sheet to the right. Car kits must be those furnished by the YMCA. An entry fee must be paid for each car entered, even if you are racing a car from a previous year.
So long as you stay within the guidelines outlined in the rule sheet, you are free to get as creative with your car as you wish. Many dads purchase two cars, one car for their child and the other for themselves.
Our 2008 event was even covered by SCV-TV. Click below to play their coverage of our event.
