The Pack 451 Pinewood Derby Race will take place from 1 PM to 4 PM on Saturday, January 21, 2012, at the Westminster Presbyterian Church Fellowship Hall.  All Pack 451 Scouts (Tiger, Wolf and Webelos) must be in uniform, and the car registration (for Scouts AND family racers) must be complete by 12:45 PM on Saturday, January 21, 2012, in order to compete in the Pack 451 Pinewood Derby. 

Pack 451 will follow the District Rules and Procedures, except that all cars will be judged for Most Beautiful and Most Original, and all cars will race for speed.  At the Pack race, there will be a separate Tiger division, a separate Family Race division, and a separate Wolf/Bear/Webelos division.  All participants will receive a participation certificate.  Trophies will be given to the top three finishers in the Tiger division and in the Wolf/Bear/Webelos division in each of three categories:  Speed, Most Beautiful and Most Original.  If a car in any division wins a top three finish for speed, but was also judged as a top three finisher in Most Beautiful or Most Original, then the judges will award only the top three speed finish to that car, and will award the Most Beautiful or Most Original top-three finish to the next runner-up.

At the District Derby on February 4, the Pack is allowed to send  (1) the top three speed racers in the Tiger Division and in the Wolf/Bear/Webelos division (2) up to eight cars in the Tiger Division and in the Wolf/Bear/Webelos division designated as Most Beautiful, (3) up to eight cars in the Tiger Division and in the Wolf’/Bear/Webelos division designated as Most Original and (4) up to two Family Racers for speed only.  IMPORTANT: All Scouts going to the Tiger Districdt Division, the Wolf/Bear/Webelos District division or the District Family Race MUST have a special District Registration and Certification Form provided and signed by the Cubmaster. 

FOR ALL RACERS:  A final optional “weigh-in,” touch-up work time for all racers will take place on Friday, January 20, 2012, starting at 6:30 PM also in the Fellowship Hall.  This optional time is also the time to set up the track for the races on Saturday, so be careful of the track setup when you come.  Racers can also go ahead and register their cars that evening instead of on Saturday, avoiding the Saturday rush, and leaving the car securely at the Fellowship Hall

FAMILY RACING:  Both the pack and the Girl Scout races will have Family Racing, which is open to leaders, parents, siblings and den chiefs/program aides.  Family Racers have to purchase their own Pinewood Derby Kit - kits are provided free of charge to Tigers, Cub Scouts and Webelos as part of their annual pack/troop dues.
