FAQ
What is the best shape for Pinewood Derby car bodies?
The prevailing wisdom is that the “thin to win” is the style you want if you’re building a Pinewood derby car with the intent to win. You want to eliminate as much air resistance as possible so your car can cut through the air like a knife. Pinewood Derby car bodies that have a low profile have been proven to be the optimal design.
Is it better to put weight on the top or bottom of a Pinewood Derby car?
You want to keep your weight distribution as low as possible, and towards the rear. You want your center of gravity to be about 1 inch in front of the rear axle. This provides enhanced stability and utilizes gravity to give you a beneficial start from the gate.
It’s all about converting the stored potential energy into speed, and by placing your weights low and to the rear, you can maximize this conversion.
