V. PARENT'S RACE CAR DESIGN
STANDARDS
(... or "Why should the kids
have ALL the fun?")
The purpose of the Parents Race event is to
have a little fun, to test our Pinewood Derby tracks, and to help finance this
year's Pinewood Derby. It will also help us to 'bleed' off some of our nervous
competitive anxiety allowing us to be calm and collected during the Scouts
race! (right?)
All adults are encouraged to build their own
cars. The adults' race will be held immediately following the scouts finals
heat. Any parent or guardian of a Cub Scout who is registered in Pack 1776may
enter this race.
P-1. Technical standards: The Technical Standards for the Cub Scout race (above)
will be used in the Parents Race with the exception that items T-1, T-3, and
T-7 do not apply and overall weight limit is raised to 7 ounces.
P-2. Entry Fee: An entry fee of $10.00 will be paid prior to
participating in the race. (adults only,
sibs are free)
P-3. Number Of Entries: You may race as many cars as you wish as long as you
pay the standard entry fee for EACH car.
P-4. The Car: You may NOT use your son's current car for this race.
P-5. Weigh-In: Cars will be inspected, weighed, and registered just
prior to the race.
P-6. What Do The Winners Get? Winners will be recognized with honor, glory, and
some GREAT prizes! (maybe)
