them prior to racing.

official
Pack rules if you did not get them at the December pack meeting. If

below for more info on the workshops.
For additional tips, there is a
wealth of information available on the web about building and racing
pinewood derby cars, and the some links can be found at the pinewood
derby areas of our links page.

ATTENTION PACK 903 SCOUTS
AND PARENTS!
Westlake Ace Hardware in Broken Arrow at
81st & 145th would be glad for us to use their
workshop. They stock a lot of the accessories that the boys like to put
on their cars including stickers, decals and weights. We will have our
workshops the mornings of Jan 6 & 13 from 9am to noon. They have some
power tools available but I believe them to be too heavy duty for our
use. If you have a table top scroll saw that can be used, please bring
it. We will have a Dremmel and a drill available. We will also have
all of the extra car kits.
Following is a list
of areas that we need parents or other leaders to help us out. If you
can help in any of the areas, please contact me Tim Simmons at
petcatdottim@wmconnect.com

Next Pack Meeting is Sunday, March 11
2:00 p.m
All Saints Gym
Featuring our annual Cubanapolis
Race
after the pack meeting
Click here for photos from last year's Cubanapolis Race
Cubanapolis is a boy (or girl)-powered,
cardboard car race in which the entire family takes an active part. The family
does more than cheer - they are his team. They all work together to build the
car and to help race it. We will also have races for siblings, who can either
borrow their brother's car or make their own.
Rules & Procedures
1. Make the car from a cardboard box big
enough for the driver to stand in. (Hint -
the smaller the car the faster the child can go, however, use your imagination.)
The car can be decorated and shaped any way you like, and you can add cardboard
or other lightweight accessories. You can use crayons, markers, spray paint, or
even use up some of that old house paint sitting in your garage to decorate the
car (or fire truck, police car, garbage truck - whatever you can imagine.) Keep
the car well balanced so it does not tip forward or drag back and keep it as
light as possible. BUT - there is no need to be too elaborate or spend any
money, since this is just meant to be a fun race, and the “car” will likely
be “totaled” by the end of the day, or at least suffer from a fender bender!
2. Hold the car during the race like you
were wearing a rain barrel. You can put a hole in the sides for your arms and a
hole in the top for your head, or leave the top open and let your arms reach
over the sides and hold the box.
3. The race is 4 laps long.
4. After each lap, the driver must make a
pit stop.
5.
The three pit stops will be:
1. Clean Windshield
(squirt goggles and wipe clean - goggles provided by pack)
2. Change tires (Pit
crew unties and then removes shoes, turns
socks inside out, puts shoes back on and reties them.
3. Refueling (drink 4
oz. of water through a straw)
6. The Pit Crew consists of ONE member
the driver’s family or other adult.
7. Goggles, refueling water and straws
will be provided.
8. Drivers must
wear a pair of lace up sneakers (no Velcro!) and a pair of socks. You
may want to avoid tight fitting or high-top sneakers.
9. If a tire (shoe) is lost during the
race the driver must stop and put it back on.
10. Have FUN!
