CSCA Pinewood Derby 2010

It's almost time for the 5th annual CSCA Pinewood Derby and I'm running out of time. While my cars in the past have done well in the design department they have never fared well when it came to speed. So, Caleb and I are building two simple cars this year--both designed with performance in mind. We are polishing the axels, squaring up the wheels and strategically placing the weight. I'll be posting photos of our progress on flickr. www.flickr.com/jeremyslagle

It's not too late to join in! You can contact Dylan to register or join us on July 22 at OSU for this month's CSCA event. Proceeds benefit CSCA's Scholarship Fund.

This year's derby will be held August 19 at the North Market.

The sweet design above was created by Dylan Menges

Looking good Jer. Looks like I'll have to get my car back in the speed shop sooner than later.

I'm so behind.

Rather than posting "Cost of admission: $5.00" I see someone (Bil Zelman?) at CSCA has a sense of humor.

Nice to see we are not the only adults that like building Pinewood cars. We held the 5ht Annual Portland Adult Pinewood Derby last weekend. http://www.nineteenfortyone.com/2010/08/kitt-happens/
