    Creating The Ruleset For Your Pinewood Derby Race

    Mid-America Derby May 9th Event Cancelled

    This is unfortunate! :mad: Thanks for keeping everyone informed. The reality is that everyone’s health is more important than having the race (did I just say that out loud? :eek:). Everyone stay safe and healthy! :)

    Billy's Red Neck Pin Gage Predicament, Precision, Place and Price

    Billy's Red Neck 4 Hire Tutorial:How To Get The Most Out Of Your Legend Box.Don't Waste A Thing

    Make sure to check for any tiny pieces of the foam that might get into the bore! They will kill the speed! I would suggest if you are going to do this, that you blow the plug off VERY thoroughly before getting anywhere near the wheel.

    Billys Red Neck Mad Hatter Hideous Hanger & Terminal Toothpick Trauma; Not For The Weak Of Heart

    How to shorten Axles

    I am not a pro, but I agree with this ... if you only need .040”-.060”, then you can shorten using just the grinder. Be sure to sand/smooth any rough edges so you don’t damage a bore while installing an axle.
