Pinnacle Car Racing began as a father-son effort to build the fastest Pinewood Derby racer. Over the course of 4 years, we searched out the "secrets" and gleaned "fact from fiction." The result; We built racers that won 3 district championships, with each car getting subsequently faster!
Although "they beat us to the term," We became Pinewood Derby "Mythbusters" and learned that most of the "secrets" made little or no difference to the real speed of the racer! Using statistically grounded testing, hundreds of cars and thousands of races, we refined the list of "facts" to a "vital few." We also were able to build racers that "could do it" without cheating! That list of discoveries and our passion for "fair play' culminated in the book "Winning by the Rules." A how to guide to building faster Pinewood Derby racers.
"The Derby" experience can be a fond memory for fathers and sons. It was for us and now it is for you!
We no longer compete, but wish to see others join us in dreaming, designing, creating and racing!
