The pinewood derby is this Monday, April 2nd. The derby will begin at 6:00 pm EDT, with the first heat beginning promptly at 6:15 pm EDT. We have 5 cars that were not registered for the race during weigh in and registrations last week. You will have until 5:30 PM EDT on April 2nd to have your car registered for the race and then registrations will be permanently closed. Someone will be there by 5:00 PM in order to help you weigh in and register.
ALL VEHICLES MUST BE REGISTERED BY 5:30 PM OR YOUR CAR WILL NOT BE IN THE LINE UP.
We have 21 of 26 cars registered and have only a few hours to conduct our race. Once the race begins new cars will not be accepted under any circumstances. The software we use to generate the race schedule uses an algorithm that guarantees each car runs on each track at least once and races against different cars each race. It is impossible, once the first race begins, to add new vehicles to the lineup without starting all over and invalidating the results of any races that already had taken place. We do not have the time to start over so we will not be doing so under any circumstance.
We had asked that each family of four chip in a total of $5 to cover the cost of pizza and then contribute something small (snacks, drinks, paper products) based on your den. 13 families have contributed their $5.00 so far. We will be collecting the outstanding balance from those haven’t paid on Monday at the door.
For those who wish to help set up, I will be opening up the gym around 2:00 PM to set up.
