Track Setup

Scoutparents helping set up the track should watch this video on how to set up the Pinewood Derby Track.

Race Management

We can support den level, whole pack, bracket, grand final round racing and more.  Please let us know what trophies and awards you plan to have so we can configure the racing ahead of time.  To save time on race day, please provide us with a list of potential racers (your Pack Roster).  We can pre-enter everyone and provide racer checkin sheets, rosters and ID numbers to speed checkin on the day of the race!  If you have questions or need help designing your Pinewood Derby race, just contact the Pack.

We partner with Patrick Liekhus, who can handle races South of 435 in the Blue Valley School District.  If our schedule is booked for your race day, please contact Patrick by email or call him at (913) 967-9354
