How to Run a Pinewood Derby Race
Planning Guide
When I ran the Pinewood Derby for my son's Cub Scout Pack 468, in Trumbull, Connecticut, I found it easier to keep track of everything that needed to get done by creating a list. I created a How To run a pinewood derby race plan to help me and the race manager organize the activities we needed to manage our race. This plan assumes the race will be held the fourth week of January.
Instead of trying to manage every task yourself, break up the tasks into sub-teams and appoint a leader for each sub-team. For example, I had a “track team”, a “food team”, a “Pit team” and an “activities team”.
The plan includes:
- Race Management Tips
- Race Preparation Timeline
- List of All Necessary Steps
