forPics are up in the gallery of the Pinewood Derby held at the Ontario YMCA on January 24, 2008. You can see all the pics and play a slideshow by clicking on this link to the gallery.

Some very cool pinewood derby car designs.

16 cars in our age division. Judged for speed and design

Designs ranged from a pinewood derby soccer field to a pinewood derby Kleenex box to a pinewood derby surfboard.

A soccer field is also a racing car!

The last two cars on the racetrack were neck and neck.

If you are serious about winning a pinewood derby race, you should know there is a mini industry in specialized pinewood derby supplies. Visit your local hobby shop. Don’t despair if you don’t have one nearby. Amazon sells tons of pinewood derby supplies and has fast shippers.

My daughter loves to surf, so she made a pinewood derby surfboard.
