Free Pinewood Derby Speed Tips


Free speed hint to make your car fast...


Super Speed Secret #17
This one speed tip won't make you a winner... but the full set of over 40 in our #1 best seller Winning Pinewood Derby Secrets will!

Only a few microseconds separates winners from losers...

You can win if you have ALL of the speed secrets. You can search for tips in the internet or pick up a few speed tips from friends,but to win, you need ALL the secrets.

Some of the speed tips in our book can't be found anywhere else. How do I know? Because as an engineer, I invented new speed techniques and every one of my speed tips have been tested on my own track.

So, here is one of my favorite hints (this one was not invented by me). It won't win the race for you, but it gives you an example of one of the things you can do to increase speed.

Friction can actually be eliminated. How? By removing the surface that is causing the friction. In our speed section titled Race Winning Secrets, we tell you how to eliminate friction by lifting one of the front wheels so it doesn't touch the track at all. Your car is rolling on only three wheels, thereby eliminating friction from one wheel. Yes, the friction is re-distributed to the other three wheels but the friction from the lifted wheel has been eliminated and adding lubricant, such as graphite reduces friction on the other three wheels. We even performed controlled experiments to prove that this works to reduce your track times.

Complete details with clear illustrations show you how in Winning Pinewood Derby Secrets.

For a few dollars, you can have the best speed tips on the market...but don't take our word for it - read our customer reviews.

Try it. It's inexpensive, it works and all of our products come with a risk-free money back guarantee.

If you really want the best, look at our line of PRO Speed Products ...polished and nickel plated axles, graphite coated speed wheels, graphite-coated axles, precision drilled blocks and a special blend of powdered graphite with moly sub-micron molybdenum. All products have been track tested by engineers.
You won't find anything better.

Proven results that you can read in our Pinewood Derby Winner's Gallery.
You can win too!

Cub Scout Pinewood Derby Racing Driver's License

  • Click on the link under the driver's license to display the Word doc. You can then save it on your PC and edit the fields to customize it for your race, as follows:

  • Change "CT" in the dark blue Driver License block to your state code

  • Change the "hgt" to the racers actual height, or make it blank and let them fill it in.

  • Change the "eyes" to the driver's eye color, or let them fill it in

  • Ask the racer to sign their license when they check in their pinewood derby car

  • You can also hand out the license with their car kit. This gives each racer time to fill in their license and add their photo to the lower right corner!
