Pinewood Derby Weigh-In TONIGHT!!!!

Hey Scout Families!   Are those cars done yet? T-minus 6 hours until weigh-in and drop off!!!   For first timers, tonight between 6pm – 8pm you will bring your completed cars to be weighed and checked in. We will have a pit area for any last-minute adjustments for cars that don’t meet requirements, need graphite powder, etc. After your car is weighed, you will not get your car back until after the races tomorrow morning. Cars will not be handled by anyone except for race officials.   If you have already registered your car online, anyone can bring your scout’s car to be dropped off (scouts do not need to be present). If you have not already, please register your car(s) ahead of weigh-in…

Hey Tigers! We are not going to meet tonight. My son’s final basketball game was moved from last week to tonight (Tyler schools had power issues).

Please wear your Class A uniforms for race day. Sadly, I will not be at the races. I am leading training for other Scout Leaders at Camp Pirtle. Cody will be there, and I’m sure all of our scouts will love the races! Call or text me if you have any issues with your PWD Cars – (903) 530-9378
