You get 4 configurations all in one block:

1. Standard wheelbase
2. Extended wheelbase, so your car is more stable
3. Standard wheelbase with raised left or right front wheel to reduce friction
4. Extended wheelbase with raised left or right front wheel to reduce friction

Choose the configuration you want and then fill in the extra holes with a dab of wood filler.

You get these speed advantages from our precision drilled Pinewood Derby car block:

Precision Drilled for True Axle Alignment

Your car will go straight down the track.
Minimizes wheel rub on the guide rails.

Optional Extended Wheelbase

Increases your car's stability.
Weights can be placed farther back on the car.
Read our Winning Pinewood Derby Secrets book for details.

Option to Raise One Wheel

You can raise one of the front wheels and your car will still roll straight! If that wheel doesn't touch the track, it reduces friction... it works!


The raised wheel can be done on the left or right front wheels.
Try one, then the other to see which wheel makes the car roll the straightest.

High Quality Pine Block

Reduces the chances of splitting or chipping.

Winning Tips and Hints

Tips & Hints

Before cutting your car, use a straight edge to draw lines down the center lengthwise and widthwise across your car. Then draw your car design template over these straight lines. The template and straight lines help guide your cutting on both sides of the car so everything is square.

Wheels Tip

If you have a bad wheel and you don't have time to replace it, raise that wheel so it doesn't touch the track. Since it doesn't touch the track, it won't have any negative effect on your car's speed.
