"The Right Side"

From Commander LEONARD GREASER:
TAPE TO BATHROOM MIRROR
You may not realize it, but it's 100% true.
1. There are at least two people in this world that you would die for.
2. At least 15 people in this world love you in some way.
3. The only reason anyone would ever hate you is because they want to be just like you.
4. A smile from you can bring happiness to anyone, even if they don't like you.
5. Every night, SOMEONE thinks about you before they go to sleep.
6. You mean the world to someone.
7. You are special and unique.
8. Someone that you don't even know exists loves you.
9. When you make the biggest mistake ever, something good comes from it.
10. When you think the world has turned its back on you take another look.
11. Always remember the compliments you received. Forget about the rude remarks.

"I will sing to the LORD, for he has triumphed gloriously; he has thrown both horse and rider into the sea.
The LORD is my strength and my song; he has become my victory.  He is my God, and I will praise him; he is my father's God, and I will exalt him!  The LORD is a warrior; yes, the LORD is his name!  Exodus 15:1-3

  • PINEWOOD DERBY - saturday march 13th 2010


  • Evangel Christian Center
    Registration: 8:30 am - $5.00 per car
    event patch for each registrant

There will be racing divisions for Ranger Kids, Discovery Rangers, Adventure/Expedition
Rangers, Commanders, Mpact Girls, Open and Unlimited. Prizes will be awarded in each division for speed and good looks. Division winners will compete for Grand Champion (except for Unlimited). Top overall church will also be awarded the Traveling Trophy.

There will be full concessions available (hot dogs, chips, candy, sodas)

RULES
1. This event is for new cars built for this racing year only.
2. After registration, cars will be taken to the weigh in station located by the track from which the car will be racing. Once the car is officially weighed, the owner will not have access to their car until their car has been eliminated.
3. Maximum weight limit is 5.5 ounces.
4. Maximum width is 2.25 inches.
5. Maximum length is 7.5 inches.
6. Cars must be freewheeling. No propulsion devices.
7. No bearings, bushings, washers, or loose materials of any kind (this restriction does not apply for the Unlimited division).
8. Wheels cannot be modified in shape or size – must be the wheels included in the car kit.
9. Some tracks have guide rails for the car's wheels - it is recommended that weights are not attached to the bottom of the car. Weights should be recessed so they are flush with the bottom of the car body.
10. Double elimination racing process:
Two cars will race at one time. After the first heat, the cars will swap race lanes and race a second heat. If a different car wins each heat then the winner of a coin toss will chose the lane to race on for the final and deciding heat. If the same car wins the first two heats, a third heat is not needed. Cars will be tracked as follows - cars without a loss, cars with one loss, and cars with two losses will be returned to the owner.
- Cars with no losses will race until there is only one car left.
- Cars with one loss will race until there are two cars left. These two cars will
race, with the losing car finishing in 3rd place.
- The final two cars will race for 1st and 2nd place. The car will have to beat
the unbeaten car twice to claim 1st.

Notes:
Label the bottom of each car with the following information: Full Name, Outpost #, and Racing Division.

Please let me know if you have any questions – or, if you want to participate as a racing official.
