Build the Ultimate Pinewood Derby
Car with the help of the Pinewood Professor
This book
is for you if you want to learn the science behind a fast Pinewood
Derby Car.
This book will help you understand
exactly what makes a Pinewood Derby car go fast. And how to apply
the scientific laws of physics to your own car.
Thanks for the tips. It
is a lot of fun to see your son glowing with excitement as
he enters the championship race. I feel giving him a
realization that a little extra, maybe even tedious work, does
lead to success is a nice lesson for life! It was
certainly worth the $5.95!

I just wanted to
thank you for the best information I've ever paid
for. It was worth
every penny! My son Ian and I raced today and
he would have taken first (caught on the starting gate
in one heat... caused him a trophy, but he took first
by a large margin in all other heats) and I took first
in the adult open class. Great speed tips that
I NEVER would have come up with on my own!
More importantly though, we had a great
time doing this together, and thanks to you, we were
competitive too!
