How to glue an animal figure to your pinewood derby car.

The weight and dimensions are given for each animal and can be used to determine your car's shape and if you will need additional weight. Keep the following in mind when selecting an animal for your pinewood derby car:

Most races have a height limit so you will want to keep the total height under the maximum allowed. The animal height should be added to the car height for the total height.
Weight is the weight of the animal and should be added to the car weight for the total. Most races have a 5 oz weight limit.
The base dimensions is the required minimum flat area of the car. This is the area the the animal will be attached to.

We recommend that you use a low wedge or flat top car (or use our Lowrider block) to keep your height and weight within the race limits.
