Pinewood Derby Check-In / Impounding (Mandatory)

  • Rye Presbyterian Church 882 Boston Post Road Rye, NY, 10580 United States (map)

In order to race your car at Pack 2’s Pinewood Derby, it has to pass inspection at this event.

To do so, you MUST bring your Pinewood Derby car for inspection and impounding at Rye Presbyterian Church between 7 and 9 PM according to the schedule below. It will be weighed, measured and inspected for compliance with the rules, which you can find here on the Files page of our website. Then it will be impounded until the races — you will not get it back until after the race.

There are many other rules, but please note that the problem we see most often is Cubs putting weights on the underside of their cars — you can only do so if you fully recess them inside the car; otherwise they will make the car unable to race as it will drag on the track , which rises up between the wheels!

Inspection Schedule:

7PM - Tigers (1st Grade)

7:30 - Wolves (2nd Grade)

8PM - Bears (3rd Grade)

8:30 - Webelos/AOL (4th & 5th Grade)

Later Event: February 5
The Pinewood Derby!
