Thorough book...an easy read |
This is the second book that my wife brought home from the library to assist me in building a car with my son.
Each section is broken down into a basic, intermediate and advanced approach, allowing you to invest as little or as much time as you want into the pursuit.
I actually laid down and read the entire book in one sitting. I highly recommend this book...unless our sons will be racing against one another, in which case I say save your money, this book is a waste of time, all of the tips and tricks will just slow your car down. =)

Winning Car Right Here |
|
With my childhood derby losses and humiliation well done and gone and my 8 year old ready to take on the big world, I needed help in a big way. This book was just what the doctor ordered. My son learned all the tricks of the trade on how to make a winning car. If you are looking to be a winner, then this is the guide to success in the pinewood derby world. Easy to follow illustrations and instructions make this a great book to have. |

The best of them all! |
Pinewood Derby has been an American tradition for Cub Scouts since it was originated in 1953, a fun event for Scouts and their fathers. There are many books out there that tell you how to make Pinewood Derby cars, giving you helpful hints and serious suggestions on how to increase the speed of your car. Well, of all of the books that I have seen, I must say that I do think that this is the best of them all!
This excellent book covers all of the suggestions that I have seen in all of those other books, ALL of them. But, what really sets this book apart is that it is filled with many colorful pictures that show you exactly how to do each step in making the best Pinewood Derby car that you can. Yeah, this is a great book.
So, if you have an up-coming Pinewood Derby coming up, do yourself a favor, and buy this book. I give it my absolutely highest recommendations! |

A must have |
I purchased this book due to a very poor showing last year (one of the first out) After reading the book and selecting what I thought to be the most critical components of a fast car, my son and I took third place in our pack and are headed off to district. The smile on his face was priceless and of course Marketadvisory sells it cheaper than the scout store. Just make sure you know the rules so you do not get DQ'd.

Excellent resource |
|
David Meade's book is fantastic. I had no idea you could do so many things to a pinewood derby car. The instructions are easy to follow, with lots of photos. I am not someone who is comfortable building things, but this book makes me feel like I can help my son build a competitive car. Mr. Meade explains the physics involved with the techniques, making this project a very good teaching opportunity. Using this book was time well spent. |
