Hello Everyone. I am a new member on this site. However I'm not new to pinewood derby. We are having a race on April 24th 2021 for all ages. We have a traditional racing, outlaw racing, and a racing for pinks that uses traditional cars. All races are cool and fun but this one is extremely cool because it involves you having control of your start gate. Reaction time is everything. Medium fast cars can beat fast cars if your quick on the draw. The race will be held in Mifflintown PA. Check out our Facebook page at the following line https://www.facebook.com/Liverpool-Pinewood-Derby-Race-1221747951208623 for further details. Check out the photos of our track setup. We have a good setup. We have lots of food, racing, Trophies are very nice and there is some competition here. So come enjoy the day with us. If you have any questions you can email me at [email protected] or call 717.444.3624 during the day. My name is Matt.
