HP District

Pinewood Derby

Saturday, April 25, 2020

Calvary United Methodist Church • 2525 N Rock Rd, Wichita

The District Pinewood Derby determines the District winners from the Packs in High Plains.  Each Pack may send up to 6 racers of each gender (12 total if you have boy AND girl dens), preferably including one from each rank/den in your Pack.

Saturday, April 25, 2020. Check in / weigh in times for each den/rank level are as follows: 

Tigers & Lions:       12:50pm – Race 1:30pm

Wolves:                  1:20pm – Race 2:00pm

Bears:                     1:50pm – Race 2:30pm

Webelos I & II:       2:20pm – Race 3:00pm (all Webelos will race and be ranked together)

Outlaw Races         2:50pm – Race after awards

Grand Champion Race: Top 2 finishers from each division: Following Webelos Race.

Awards and recognition will follow the races. There will be a photo opportunity for ALL racers.

Placement is based on electronic times. If at least 3 girls register by March 29th in a category, separate standings will be awarded (same for Tigers/Lions). At the discretion of the race organizers, separate standings may be added based on late registrations. ALL racers in the divisions above will race together (i.e. boys and girls, Lions and Tigers); the computer will keep track of subcategories (girls/boys, for example) and provide separate standings, if there are at least 3 racers in each subcategory. Outlaw (cars NOT entered in the official races; racers may be cubs or family/friends) and “grudge match” races will follow the Grand Champion races and awards ceremonies, but time may be limited based on how everything runs that day. The format used will depend on the time available. Please be prepared to be flexible. You are also welcome to bring Outlaw and additional official cars not entered in the race for the display table. Share your awesome cars and join the fun!

$6 per racer, if paid on or before Friday March 27th, 2020.  After March 27, an additional $1 per racer will be added for any late registrations. Each pack may enter up to 12 racers.

Pre-registration is required in order for us to provide program materials to all participants. Event is open to all High Plains’ Packs.  Each pack may send 6 racers of each gender (12 total if you have boy AND girl dens). Provide names and ranks during pre-registration. Please inform event personal of any substitutions when you arrive the day of race. Registration will close on Wednesday, 4/8/20, at midnight; paper registration is NOT available.

Please send the top racer from each den/rank level in your pack. Racers to fill any remaining slots (up to 6 total) can be determined as your pack chooses (for example, if your pack does not include Lions or Tigers or only has 1 Webelos den, you could have 2 or 3 “at large” spots available for your team of 6). Racers are expected to race the same car used for the pack race in qualifying for the district race (see exception below). The car must have been built for this year’s races by the cub scout racing the car (racers may not use cars from past years or cars built by others). This is enforced through the honor system; a scout is Trustworthy. Exception: If the pack race’s rules contain allowances that would disqualify the car in the district race, the cub scout can modify their car or build a second car to meet the district rules.

Refunds are not available, but a pack may send any 6 (or 12) cub scouts to race. Alternate racers may compete in place of registered racers who are unavailable the day of the race. Please ask all racers to arrive a bit early and no later than the check in time.
