Man… the sawdust and graphite was flying today. The Derby Monkey Workshop helped over 100 folks today including scouts, moms and dads from three different packs. Today’s workshop, from 9:00am to 4:00pm, was 7 fun filled action packed hours of pinewood derby car building.The workshop served a tremendous local need today. We helped many fathers with little or no building skills to single moms who had no clue how to get started. Some dads had the skills but no tools or shop to work.

We served the kids free popcorn, donuts and Kool-Aid (tanked’em up on sugar and sent’em home with mom and dad). The old folks had all the coffee they could drink. The cubs and their siblings watched Speed Racer, Down & Derby and Little Cars when they took a break from building. Our 42″ screen doubles as a race management score board as well as a DVD player to entertain the kids. Several adults watched and loved Down & Derby.

This makes our fourth workshop this season and has another scheduled for next Saturday. When this is all over I will take well deserved rest.

Goat Boy Products is pleased to announce the NEW 2 Piece Fender Kit for Pinewood Derby cars. Pinewood Derby fenders are great for a special look but will also make your car faster.  This kit has been tested by several racers and they all said they had improved times with the fenders. The kits will come in (2) different versions. One for BSA wheels and the other for the Derby Worx SS style wheel. The Derby Worx wheel is about .100″ narrower so the wide BSA fenders stick out to far. Each kit will include… 

(2) Lester Racing Balsa Fender Flares
(2) CNC machined plastic full fenders
(1) tool for mounting the fenders perfectly centered to your axle holes.

• Derby Worx / Warp Speed 2010 Pinewood Derby Wheels | Fast Pinewood Derby Tips http://bit.ly/531OGa #

Derby Worx and Warp Speed have spent the off season making our award winning wheels even faster than EVER!!!As many of you have read, the new B.S.A. wheel is lighter than the old wheel and a bit better, so we stepped it up AGAIN to put some more HOT in your HOT ROD this season!!!

The NEW B.S.A. wheel has a stepped ledge in the outer hub area where the axle head rides. All Derby Worx / Warp Speed wheels feature this area cut out to move the friction area back to the inner edge of the hub for reduced friction and less rotational area PLUS this area is NOW CONED for greater speed and easier set up of a RAIL RIDER (TM) ALIGNMENT!!! Thats right, BOTH sides of the hub on our PRO Ultra Lite, Pro Inertia Lite & Pro Stock wheels are coned and only from Derby Worx / Warp Speed!

Next: the new B.S.A. wheel allows us to take our Pro Inertia Lite wheels to a amazing low of 1.4g’s (down from 1.8g) and still retain ALL original wheel markings inside and out to meet many tight pack and district rules.

All Derby Worx / Warp Speed Wheels feature our exclusive 5 step hub treatment and are precision machined using our NEW Haas cnc’s on our EXCLUSIVE fixtures for added precision.

If your rules would question the hub step removal, check out out Derby Worx Super Stock’s / #MM01, these wheels are mold matched and precision machined on the tread face only on our exclusive fixtures using our Okuma cnc.

Best of luck to ALL racers this season.

Pinewood derby races have long been the highlight of many youth groups, especially Cub Scouts. Too often young scouts dream up fantastic designs for their derby car only to find that they cannot explain to their parent helper just how to cut out the design and achieve the look they want. Avoid disappointment at your next pinewood derby race by using this simple cutting technique to transfer a pinewood derby design from paper to wood… READ MORE
