Scouts need to register their cars between 8:30 am and 9:00 am. We will weigh in all cars at this time, even if you participated in the Optional Friday Night Weigh-In.  During this time a "pit table" will be available to aid the Scout in getting the exact weight.

Opening Ceremony starts at 9:15 am and will go until all dens have raced.  The top three cars in each den will receive trophies, and the top racer from each den will move onto the Grand Champion round. 


Pack Adult Open Class.  Plan on huge Boy Scout & Adult Competition for 2018's race!!!!!!!

Adult Open Class races will occur throughout the race day between den races. This is just for the Boy Scouts and Adult Leaders of the Pack.

1. be 5oz or less

If your Scout cannot make the derby but has a car, no worries!  Have him drop off his car for weigh-in on Friday night (or give it to another Scout or leader to do it for him).  His car will race even if he is not present. 


This is a great time for all.  See you at the races!
