We Are Scouts
I built my first Pinewood Derby car with my Dad in 1966. When my son joined the Scouts in 1995, I volunteered to lead the Pinewood Derby for his Pack, and we've been actively involved with the Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts ever since.
Products Designed by Engineers
As an engineer, I take my work very seriously. I don't claim to be perfect, but I've worked hard to design the best products I can.
Many of my products were invented by me or my fellow engineers such as my PRO Super Speed Axles, Graphite-Coated Axles, and Graphite-Coated Wheels.
Track Tested for Speed
All of our products have been track-tested to prove that they are fast.
3D Car Design Plans
Pinewood Pro offers the only 3D Car Design Plans that feature 3D AutoCAD images, so you can see your car taking shape step by step.
We even animate your car in 360 degrees so you can see it from all angles. You won't find anything better, or cooler.

Winning Tips and Hints
Pinewood Derby
Tips & Hints
Make your car slim. If your car is too chunky, there will be lots of weight in the wood, leaving less weight for your weights. You want lots of weight so you can move the center of gravity to the optimal point to maximize inertia.
Pinewood Derby
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 affect on your car's speed.
