Pinewood Derby Help!

For beginners I highly recommend looking through this page:

http://5kidsracing.webs.com/cubscoutworkshop.htm

There are also other sections on that site to give you a lot of the basics makes for a good FAQ source to supplement this forum. Then if you still have questions there is a wealth of knowledge in this forum. Just use the search bar to look for whatever topic you have a question about. If you still can't find it there are plenty of people active on here to answer it or point you to the right forum post.

Another good post to get you started would be this as well:

Xactly!! You are in luck...you have the found the best and fastest place you will ever need! Read and search the forum, ask questions and apply your new found knowledge and the only way someone might beat you at your scout level is if they are on this forum too. Good luck and welcome to the NPWDRL.
But...be careful...this is a VERY addictive hobby...
 
its a great place to start for the family aspect. After that, follow the threads on NGYs post.
 
This is the best forum for everything you'll ever need to know about PWD racing. Almost every question you have has probably been answered at least 2-500 times on the forums so do some searching before asking. Also, if you sweet talk some guys, they may share some secrets with you. Just dont sweet talk Kinser, CA glue does NOT make for a good lubricant no matter what he says!
