That sounds a little like the old Space Derby with propeller rockets.

Instead of a proper pinewood derby, maybe you could come up with something that utilizes a rope that is tied up so it its slanted. Then we have materials so you can build some kind of a contraption to hang from to race down the ropes? Basically some hooks and the rest is up to you. Winner might end up being a piece of 2x4 with 2 hooks attached to it. Seems like it could have some similarities to the mechanics of a pinewood derby without having to setup a big track for it.

It would be fun to see the matchup between Ferencz Motorsport and the Wilsons though.

Pinewood Derby might need too many tools to succeed. Then again, who knows what Alan has. Maybe something simpler would work though.

I’d like to play arrowman bingo. I think it’s been a few years since we last played it.

I think it would be fun to have a pinewood derby at camp or some other kind of competition where we build something and have a competition.
