PINEWOOD DERBY @ BSA 13
After 38 years, Pack 13 purchased a NEW 4
lane track & lane brain. In the near future we intend to be running
the race by computer software, utilizing "The Judge" lane brain. The pinecar
racing specifications, BSA13 basic rules, & Race Rules will remain the same.
We
hope this new track provides "13" with years of racing!

-
The slow, slower, etc. race has 1 unique rule. To win (lose?) this race
you must be the last car to cross the finish line. Then you are the SLOWEST
EVER for the year. If your car does not finish the race then the best plaque
you can receive is the SLOW plaque.
