On Friday evening, Feb 28, 2020, about 5:30 pm, Rick, Danny, Bob and Kathie attended a Pinewood Derby Building exercise at the First Assembly of God church on Mt Rushmore Road to provide toymaking expertise. Members of a Ranger group from the church met to prepare for the upcoming Derby on March 7, 2020. The car must meet certain requirements in order to be eligible for the races, included weight restrictions (5.5 oz max). Hot lead was the additional weight of choice.
We brought two Rigid sanders, a drill press, and three DEWALT scrollsaws. We had enough firepower to build several fleets of derby cars. Somewhere in the neighborhood of 30 cars were built over the two day session. Highlights included a Banana Car, a Tank, a Toy Box car, and a slingshot design.
