Overview

Welcome to the Troop 999 pinewood derby online track reservation request system. Using this system you can request the use of our pinewood derby track for a specific date (see the reservation form at the bottom of this page).

This track is a fundraiser for the Scouts of Troop 999. We use this money to help offset the cost of summer camp, equipment, activities, etc.

Information about building your own electronic timer, including free software, schematics, and component source information is available on the web at http://pinewood.hmpg.net

Rental Information

The rental price of $51 (due at the time of the race, make checks to "Troop 999") includes the following:

• "Regulation" 32 foot pinewood derby track as described in the Cub Scout How-To Book
• Transportation of the track to and from your event
• Setup and take-down of the track
• Operation of the track during your derby
• Use of a food-grade electronic scale during the event
• Computer timing of cars to better than 1/10,000 of a second
• Overall race results printout at the end of the derby, sorted by fastest to slowest car
• Individual race result sheets for each participant, showing place, time, and scale speed in each lane

The track requires an area of approximately 40 feet by 10 feet. Power must be available at one end of the space (the finish line). We will do outdoor events as long as there is a dry, hard, level surface for the track to sit on; power is available; and, of course, subject to weather.

We will need access to the race area approximately 45 minutes prior to the start time to setup. We will need approximately 30 minutes after the event to clean up.

Please read our pinewood derby rental information (requires the free Adobe Acrobat Reader to view) for a suggested meeting schedule, sample race results & participant printouts, a car check-in sheet, and additional information.
