PREPARATIONS FOR PACK, DISTRICT, AND COUNCIL DERBIES:

 As with the introduction of a comprehensive Event Guide for last year’s events, the ongoing evolution of Pinewood Derby is a labor of love for all involved. There were many accolades for the success of last year’s Derby, as well as a very healthy debate on the merits of the governing rules. I have always been, and always shall be, open to the broadest interpretations of the rules and will continue to strive to strike a healthy balance between sportsmanship, creativity, and competitive fairness. http://2010derby.futureeagles.com
