Books with title Pinewood Derby For The Win!

"Jeremy, you can't tell how fast a car is going to race just by its appearance," lectures his dad. But Jeremy's heart sinks as he wonders how his racecar will ever compete with the sleeker models designed to win the reigning title at the Pinewood Derby. This is the story of a young boy entering an annual scouting event, with limited skills and equipment, who along the way learns a valuable life lesson. Just because you are not equipped with the 'right' tools and assistance, does not mean you cannot succeed. From the moment that Jeremy receives his block of wood to carve, to the point when the racetrack slats are lowered, Jeremy embarks on a journey of self -discovery that results in the decision to race his car against all odds. The reader will find himself staring down the long, narrow tracks with a singular, sloping hill, cheering loudly for the underdog that lies within us all.

Ive written this book to make it as easy as possible to make a winning pinewood derby car. Most of the techniques can be done with simple hand tools. I wanted to come up with some new techniques that any child could do. I also came up with some new ideas that an adult can help with. I started working with my son on his first pinewood derby car when he was five. We went to the library and found some great books. A lot of the ideas are very advanced for a five-year-old, so we thought we could figure out some new ideas on our own. It took five years and a lot of trial and error, but he finally won a first place trophy in our pinewood derby race. Now we can share some of these ideas to help you make the fastest car you can. Other books cover a lot of details on every aspect of pinewood derby. We are trying to help with some more new easy ideas. Always check to see if your race has rules added to the standard pinewood derby rules that come in your pinewood derby car box. I dont want you to use some of these techniques and have your car disqualified. Finally, always read and follow the safety rules that come with the tools and machines you will use on your project.
