Event Details
2024 Two Bays Annual District Pinewood Derby Race
Date: Time: 10 am - 2 pm
Location: First State Military Academy, 355 Duck Creek Road, Clayton, DE 19938
The boys and girls of Cub Scout Packs from around the Two Bays District, Del-Mar-Va Council, BSA will be competing in their final race of the Pinewood Derby circuit. This year’s race will be held at the First State Military Academy in Clayton DE. We ask each Pack to send at least one representative with the Pack's cars for a pre-check at 10AM. If cars are dropped off for the pre-check, Scouts may arrive for their age group race and don't have to be present for the event prior. Please ensure you arrive with adequate time to prepare for your race.
Each Scout who qualified for this final race earned entry by competing against their fellow Cub Scouts in their home Pack.
Each Pack may send:
2 Lions, 2 Tigers, 2 Wolves, 2 Bears, 2 Webelos and 2 Arrow of Light. (AOL who have already crossed over are invited to compete)
This year we will also be introducing an OPEN Class.
The OPEN Class is for anyone who would like to build and race a car Outlaw Style. It is open to Scouts, Leaders, Parents, Siblings or whoever wants to Race! All proceeds from the OPEN Class will go to Friends of Scouting. The rules are minimal for this Class, but some things to keep in mind:
1. The car must not impede any other car on the track.
2. The car must still be self-propelled; no rockets, fans, etc.
2. The car must still be self-propelled; no rockets, fans, etc.
3. The race is electronically timed, so the car must be able to go under the Track Timing System at the end.
4. The car must clear the track, think about clearance under the car.
5. There is no weight limit, but from experience a heavy car doesn't make it a fast car.
6. We hold the authority to not allow a car to race if during inspection we feel the car is not safe to run down the track. (example, don't bring a car with a 50lb weight on top)
7. Have fun with this, but use common sense.
