Pinewood Derby Car Designs
Don Murphy started his race with some basic design considerations still adhered to within the competition -- all Pinewood Derby cars must meet the same weight, size and configuration standards:
- No car must weigh more than 5 ounces (141.7 grams)
- Cars must be no longer than 7 inches (17.78 centimeters) from front to rear bumpers
- Cars cannot be more than 2 3/4 inch (6.99 centimeters) wide
- The clearance between the car and the track must be no more than 3/8 of an inch (0.95 centimeters)
- The cars must be freewheeling and have no starting devices
Other than these rules, how a car is made is open to the builder's interpretation. Select a Scouts - Pine Car category:
