Pack 42 Pinewood Derby Race Regulations

1 Scouts must present their cars for check-in (final weighing and inspection) at least 15 minutes before their scheduled race time – see Race Day Schedule.

2 Each scout’s car will race against other scouts’ cars from the same age level. All cars will run six races; one race down each of the six tracks on the Pack 42 racecourse. Times are accumulated electronically with the lowest cumulative time on all six tracks used to determine the winner at each age level.

3 The fastest three cars from each age level will participate in the Pack Championship race. All advancing cars will again run six races as before. The cumulative times determine the winners.

4 During a race if a car jumps off the track and is judged, in the opinion of the designated race official, to have in any manner impeded the progress of another car, the results of that race will not count for all the participants in the race and the race will be re-run.

5 If any car is impeded as a result of debris on the track, in the opinion of a race official, the results of that race will not count for all participants in the race and the race will be re-run.

6 Any scout with a car that experiences a malfunction (such as a lost wheel or jumps the track) will be allowed a total of two occasions to make repairs to the car. Repairs must be completed within three minutes or the car will have to be disqualified.
