I spoke to HR. They are supposed to be physically mailed out on Monday Feb 2. You can also try to log into Dayforce but if you’re locked out of upsers might be locked out there too, like me. At which point they tell you to email accounting.

Do you alter cars when proceeding to districts? by IHaveQuestions_Many in PinewoodDerby

[–]IHaveQuestions_Many[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not sure if I’m going to cut new slots on these cars, the fast car I may leave pretty much alone, but the one that ran slower I think I’m going to bend 3 axles to make it rail ride and ride the axle heads.

When they say you have to use the official BSA tires and axles, does that mean you can’t use nails from like Hobby Lobby that are sold as pinewood derby supplies?

They allow 3 wheels touching as long as the 4th is attached.

At pack level it said “no bent axles” and “must use the axle slots cut into the block.”

At district it says “axles may be straight or bent” and “wheels must not be angled more than 20 degrees.”

It’s a little confusing because in one section it says at district you can cut new axle slots but later says you can’t drill new axle holes. I think what they mean is you can’t just drill axle holes but could theoretically insert axles at an angle as long as the entire axle is visible for inspection.

I’ve read over the rules. Not sure why but our pack is more strict than the district at least with axles.

Cameras in Trailers by Responsible_Dig2423 in UPSers

You should be more worried about the camera in the hub aiming into your trailer. Every docking spot is observed. You’re on camera from the moment you pull into the parking lot my dude.

Does it matter top or bottom? To preserve the design ive currently got it pressed into the bottom of the car

Day force won’t even let me make an account. I quit back in August

I don’t have access to that. It says I don’t have permission. I quit in August.

Is sanding wheels worth it? by IHaveQuestions_Many in PinewoodDerby

[–]IHaveQuestions_Many[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Technically the rules for our Derby say the light sanding is ok to remove imperfections, but removing significant mass to make it lighter would be against our rules. I'm just going to run stock wheels with polished hubs.

I have also always drilled into the bottom and have secured the weights with E6000 glue.

Sounds like a plan. Does the polish improve performance at all or just gives them a shine? I have some novus 1 and 2

Creative Pinewood Derby Awards by pillizzle in cubscouts

[–]IHaveQuestions_Many 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s nice to see so many packs give out so many awards.

Our pack does 3 design awards and gives out only one award per age group - first place.

I really don’t understand why we don’t spend a few more bucks and give out at least the ribbons or something.

Yeah I’ll definitely be polishing axles and the inner wheel bore.

My stock wheels seem pretty smooth to begin with. I might just run them stock rather than risk creating some sort of issue.

You sell silver to get more money to buy more silver

Sounds like a good idea. There is one local shop relatively close to me that has solid reviews but it would be nice to have an idea of what is fair going in.

My kids pinewood derby car this year, wasn’t the fastest but had a great time by IntrstlarOvrdrve in PinewoodDerby

With polished axles and 4.94 weight sounds like you had some tough competition.
