How to Build a Fast Pinewood Derby Car
Guide to making a fast pine wood derby car
How to Build a Fast Pinewood Derby Carby Joe Gargiulo, Pinewood Pro
How do you build a fast derby car?
Answer: To build a fast pine wood derby car, you need to reduce friction. Friction is the enemy of speed. Reducing friction, increases speed. It's as simple as that!
This short tutorial guide gives you is a list of friction reducers that will help you make a fast, competitive pinewood derby car. It is by no means a comprehensive list of speed secrets. For more how-to information, there are several excellent sources of winning secrets listed at the bottom of this article.
Since pine wood derby block dimensions are all the same, these speed tips apply to Cub Scouts, Awana Grand Prix, PineCar, Kub Car, Royal Rangers and Girl Scouts powderpuff pinewood derby cars.
Friction DOWN, Speed UP
Your pine wood derby car moves from the force of gravity and is slowed down from friction. Friction acts like brakes. Reduce friction and your car goes faster. Increase friction and your car slows down. Finding the sources of friction and finding ways to reduce it is the tricky part. Here are some ways to reduce friction and increase speed.
How to reduce friction? The easiest easy way to reduce friction in your pine car is to lubricate the two surfaces that are causing friction. Lubrication is an essential part of pine wood derby racing. Purchase a tube of dry powdered graphite and sprinkle a little on the axles and in the wheel bore. Spin the wheel so the graphite works in. You will immediately notice a significant improvement in the wheel speed and number of revolutions as you turn it.
Another good lubricant, if your rules allow it, is Nyoil II. Nyoil is a highly refined thin-film oil. Only one or two small drops on your axles reduces friction throughout your race because Nyoil stays on your axles long after graphite has dropped off in the later heats. See more details on this new lube idea in Graphite and Lubes.
Derby Axles
Your wheels turn on Pinewood Derby Axles. One of the biggest sources of friction is where the axles and wheel surfaces meet. It is important to make your axles as smooth as possible. Be absolutely sure that the burr under the nail head is filed or sanded off. Once that is sanded off, polish the nail and underside of the head to a mirror like finish.
Derby Wheels
Imperfections in your Pinewood Derby Wheels cause friction in many areas. Sanding your wheels, however, can be tricky. If the wheels are not precision sanded, you can actually make matters worse. Turning your wheels on a lathe are the best way to remove imperfections and get a uniform, balanced and finely tuned pinewood derby wheel. The wheel is secured in the lathe and spun at a high speed, then it is sanded or shaved with a tool attachment.
Wheel imperfections can also make your car veer left or right. Once again, lathed wheels will remove mold imperfections so each wheel rolls perfectly straight.
More Weight, More Inertia, More Momentum
Your car moves down the track from the force of gravity. If your car is too light, it will have less inertia in the flat part of the track. Be sure your car weighs as close to 5 oz as possible. Find someone with a scale, purchase an inexpensive scale or weigh your car at the Post Office. Add weights until the car block, along with the wheels and axles, is up to 5 oz. Don't wait until race night to get this right! When I managed our pinewood derby race, there was always a scramble just before the race to weigh cars and bring them up to 5 oz.
Making your pine wood car go straight
This can be tricky. Roll your car along the kitchen floor. If it veers to the right or left too much, the axles are crooked. Just like steering a car, you need to adjust the steering on your Derby Car. To do this, you must adjust one or more of the axles so the car rolls straight.
You can do this by re-drilling the axle holes with the PRO Driller Tool and re-inserting the axles, or you can gently bend the axles, but this is extremely tedious and can easily damage your axle.
How to win your pine wood derby race
To win the race, you'll need to learn the speed secrets from the experts. If you are serious about speed, spend a few dollars to download our Winning Pinewood Derby Secrets book that contains over 40 speed secrets or...start the long process of trial and error.
Have fun, do your best and happy racing!

Pinewood Derby
Tips & Hints
Tungsten weights are ideal for pinewood derby cars. Tungsten is about 1/3 smaller than a zinc piece with the same weight. Therefore, you can pack Tungsten weights in a smaller area to optimize your center of gravity to maximize inertia giving you greater speed at the finish gate.
Pinewood Derby
building Tip
Be sure any decorative parts are super glued into place! If you lose a piece off your car it will affect the weight of the car, resulting in loss of inertia, decreasing your speed.
Pinewood Derby
rules Hint
If it isn't explicitly stated in the rules, then you can do it. If you have questions about your rules, ask your race manager, since all races have different rules.

... there was a bonfire but nobody went near it because it's just so hot here already. I talked with my friends until midnight, then packed and slept. All really good times with these people. I will never be able to forget my new friends, the people of the Dominican Republic, or the Dominican Republic itself. As corny as it is, I feel like what we did here was special and impactful.

Whether it's since it's hidden out sight or considering the fact that it isn't essentially the most first-rate thing to believe about, the septic system is the final thing on most homeowner's minds. No o one rather wants to consider of where the whole lot goes the minute the bathroom is flushed or the plug is pulled on the drain. However, the moment some thing goes incorrect-a caught drain and even worse a stopped or overflowing rest room-this is whilst you have to believe about your septic process to hinder skills issues.
Components of a Septic system
Most septic programs include a number of extraordinary materials, which ought to be maintained and infrequently cleaned, drained or replaced with a purpose to ensure premier operations.
A septic procedure includes extra than simply the tank. When building and inserting the septic method there are a few factors which can be taken into consideration comparable to soil percolation, soil acidity, effluent water (each black water and grey water) and what the septic tank is constituted of.
Concrete is probably the exceptional fabric for a septic tank, as it is basically indestructible and impervious to rust and decay. The perfect measurement of the septic tank is elegant upon the number of residents within the residence or rental complex, however the average family of 4 to 6 can use a 1500-gallon tank without a problems.
Some humans have had a satisfactory deal of success with light-weight plastic septic tanks. These are advised for couples or households with one child.
Near the septic tank there will also be a leach subject and a drainage discipline. Drainage fields work more efficaciously in soil with just right percolation premiums, with minimal clay that drains good. It can be excellent to contact a plumbing manufacturer to get estimates for set up, and call the local extension administrative center for soil trying out and acidity levels.
You should also take into account piping and area as good. All this will also be discussed with a plumbing manufacturer or a contracting enterprise.
What to Do When problems occur
Some of the nice methods to hinder problems from taking place is to have the septic system drained each two and a half years or more.
Typical protection can also be principal. This includes now not making use of harsh chemicals or bleach when cleansing the toilet, bathtubs and sinks, because the chemicals can harm or destroy the typical chemical compounds used to collapse waste, and it is first-rate to follow a time table for pumping the septic tank.
Invariably name a plumber when issues occur. The fumes from a blocked septic procedure will also be poisonous. Reputable plumbers come well geared up with the proper equipment so they are not adversely affected. With suitable preservation, any septic process will operate at highest performance for several years.

Once the farm to the Châteaux de Cussay located at the end of a country lane
La Roche d'Enchaille is a barn conversion located between the medieval market towns of Ligueil and Descartes; ideally positioned for exploring the Loire Valley and its Châteaux. Set in to a hillside with a wood behind, La Roche d'Enchaille enjoys uninterrupted views of the surrounding rolling farmland and woodlands. The accommodation is a careful restoration and conversion of the farm to the Châteaux de Cussay, this dates back to 1268 when the first record of the châteaux can be traced as being sold to Guy the Doyen of St Martin. The main West-facing wall is formed from the original châteaux ramparts and vestiges of these are present through out the grounds as well as entrances to caves and tunnels. The locals swear there is a tunnel linking La Roche d'Enchaille with the Church in the centre of Cussay some 5 km away. The châteaux had several roles during its long history, including operating as a mint striking coinage back in the 16th century and more recently as a "Relais de Post'.

Weekend entre amis
Nous avons passé un excellent weekend dans cette magnifique maison très bien équipée.
Je recommande
Make it a 6 star!
If I could give this lovely, charming home a 6 star rating I would! We took our children and grandchildren on a 3 week tour of France. By the time we reached the Loire Valley, we were all travel weary. This was the perfect respite; sunflower fields, cows, and sunsets.
On arrival we found a tastefully remodeled, spacious and beautiful home. The kitchen is perfect for cooking and is well stocked. There are toys, games and activities for the children, including an assortment of bicycles, a ping pong table and darts. The decor is simple, beautiful and tasteful as well as having the exceptional quality of not being fussy. I am an interior designer, and have a high standard. This clean and open concept home makes for a perfect gathering place.
Your hosts are available and accommodating, yet you feel you are given the utmost privacy. Castle visiting was fabulous.
My only wish was that we had stayed here longer! Truly wonderful!!!
Lovely Stylish Gite
It is a lovely stylish Gite in rolling countryside, and yet only 10 minutes from the supermarket in Ligeul. We enjoyed every moment of our stay (despite appalling weather) and were made to feel very welcome by Elizabeth and Garth.
Finally also recommended to wheelchair users.
Fabulous holiday in beautiful location
We have recently returned from 10 days stay at La Roche d'Enchaille. There were 6 adults and 2 small children in our party, and the gite catered for all of our needs. Everything we needed was right there for us; a superbly stocked kitchen, plenty of living space and beds for everyone. We were particularly impressed with the range of toys and books for our two children, aged 3 and 6. The house was perfect for the children with a huge amount of outdoor space, boules pitch, table tennis, darts, bikes etc. The gite has been restored to a very high standard, was very clean and the owners Garth & Elizabeth were on hand to assist whenever required without being obtrusive. Buster the friendly dog was a big hit with the kids too! Plenty of places nearby to visit; however we were just as happy to relax at the house. The sunsets over the surrounding fields are amazing! We would not hesitate in recommending it to others. Thank you Garth & Elizabeth for a most enjoyable holiday.
Fantastic stay!
Fantastic location and superbly equipped accommodation. The downstairs bedroom and shower room were particularly appreciated by my elderly mother. She lovely the fact that there was no step into the shower and the non-slip shower tray and described it as 'a luxury wet room which I will miss'. The kitchen was equipped to a high standard with a massive cooker, very good dishwasher and fridge. Upstairs bedrooms were very comfortable. Lots of lovely touches such as freshly laundered napkins, lovely cotton sheets with lots of pillows, piles of towels and bath mats, fresh flowers, etc. the terrace was lovely to sit on to watch the owl, kestrels, swallows, bantams, and the cows in the field. Buster is quite a character and we miss him already! Liz and Garth are great hosts and very attentive, whilst at the same time letting us feel we were totally on our own and we loved the peace and tranquility. Shops were close by and also great access to the road network which made the journey so simple. The only thing we would change would be the length of the stay - it was far too short - and we would have liked to have missed the gale in the English Channel on the way home!
Absolutely beautiful.
The property was gorgeous set in a wonderful location and providing everything we could wish for and more, the best equipped holiday home we have ever stayed in. We had a week of happiness , sunshine , and spectacular sunsets viewed from the terrace with local wine in hand, perfect. We would highly recommend it and hope to return ourselves soon.

It has been 30 years since a British women's quartet last won a sprint relay medal at the world championships. Until just a few weeks ago there had been little reason to believe that this year might be any different. In recent years a run of terrible results – including failing to qualify for the Olympic Games last summer – had left Britain's women's 4x100m adrift, and it was difficult to imagine any imminent change in form.
But under a new coach, Rana Reider, working with a revamped team that includes the prodigiously talented 17-year-old Dina Asher-Smith, a female British quartet produced a stunning win at the London Anniversary Games last month, crossing the line in 42.69sec, the fastest time from a British team in 12 years. That time would have won them bronze at two out of three of the last world championships and Olympic Games. Still, Reider thinks they can go faster at the Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow on Sunday.
The American coach's prediction is a world away from the dishevelled looking quartet that failed to finish inside the world's top 16 last year to miss out on London 2012 – the final nail in the coffin for an event which had taken a battering in recent years. Struck off lottery funding in 2010 after being labelled a "disgrace" by then head coach Charles van Commenee (who famously yelled at the team, in earshot of the national media, after the women did not make the final at the European championships), the team struggled to establish themselves under the leadership of three different coaches in four years.
Beset by problems, it is little wonder that Reider, says he was initially met with indifference when he took over the programme last October. "Lots and lots of emails went out [about the relay] and people just ignored them and didn't get involved," said Reider. "The girls who are involved now were excited, they responded right off the bat, the people that didn't we just kind of moved on." The American is not kidding. Reider says he dropped at least one individual when they failed to turn up for practice.
"To change the culture of what the relay has been in this country, and to address some of the complaints that I'd heard, everyone had to buy in from the beginning for the greater good of the relay programme. Some of the complaints I can tell you is people were saying, 'I don't want to be known as a relay runner'. But if you look at the world rankings and you look at where the GB girls are, they need to be excited about running the relay so they can be at major meets to have the best chance to be top level. If they get that experience it will help them when they get there as an individual, it won't be such a shock."
Reider said he started his programme from scratch, casting a wide net to search for talent outside the obvious sources and using technology to make decisions to inform his relay picks. Annabelle Lewis, for example, is only the fifth fastest sprinter over 100m this year, but earned her place in the London Anniversary Games lineup when Reider discovered that the 23-year-old boasts a top-end speed that rivals some of the best in the country. "That's why she fits into the picture." Also in the mix are the joint fastest individual sprinters Anyika Onuora, who Reider fondly refers to as "the old lady", and the 22-year-old former world youth champion Asha Philip, as well as the former world junior silver medallist Ashleigh Nelson.
Asher-Smith, who ran a storming first leg in London, is the youngest member of the GB team in Moscow. Last summer the teenager was a kit carrier at the Olympic Games for Kenenisa Bekele; this year her career has progressed at a rapid rate, winning European junior gold with the 4x100m in a new national record time and establishing herself on the senior team as a key relay member. And in Adam Gemili, the former footballer turned world junior champion over 100m, Asher-Smith has a mentor watching over her.
"Me and Adam are really good friends," said Asher-Smith, who is a clubmate of Gemili's at Blackheath and Bromley. "He looks over me like I'm his little sister, he calls me his little sister all the time. I've been able to learn a lot from Adam, and I'm really grateful that he's there to guide me. If he wasn't there I'd be making so many more mistakes."
On Sunday the GB team will have to compete against one of the toughest fields ever assembled in the event – a USA team that set a world record at London 2012 and a Jamaica squad packed full of stars – but Reider says a podium finish is not beyond them. "I just want them to make the final and keep building on things. If we run 42.6 or 42.5 that will put us in a pretty good position. If they get the stick round you never know … if we are solid and in the mid 42s or a little bit faster that should put us in the midst to do something good."

Our desire for an aquatic scene in our gardens is probably genetic - enjoyment of being within sprinting distance of a climbable tree and copious sparkling water. Hence the evolution of the designer's favourite, the garden water feature. If you were the Duke of Marlborough, you'd have Capability Brown using your serfs to carve out artificial ponds and serpentine lakes to create your relaxing vistas, but Great Uncle Montague blew the family fortune at the bookies, so you, like the rest of us, are now constrained by size and budget.
But at Primrose, budget is not much of a constraint, and your personal taste is no constraint at all. Primrose can offer you with a vast array of classical tiered stone fountains , elegant cascading figurines, contemporary stainless steel walls, natural stone monoliths, rusting corten monstrosities and charming self-contained woodland scenes of babbling brooks and tumbling streams. Your pump can be mains-powered, or you can choose an easily-installed and put-it-anywhere solar water feature or birdbath fountain. Whatever your budget, from a £30 plastic gnome water feature to a £700 bubble fountain, at Primrose you'll have the means to please your genes.

Washing machines made in the USA is a hard category to pin down. While we know there are more washing machines made in the USA the companies that make them don't do a great job of advertising that fact.

I started to day on the Cambridge Plan and have found it hard this afternoon. I work where I have to buy a uniform and its been really getting tight and its been getting embarrasing. Im not back at work for 10 days so hopefully it will be fitting a lot better by then and i'll be on my way to losing all my weight by the summer.
Just got to keep positive and reading these reviews have helped as everybody is going through the same thing.

Since she left the City merchants Greens, her achievement in transforming Safeway's wine range, from staid and respectable to one of the most innovative in supermarkets, has earned her the respect of a male-dominated wine trade. Sainsbury and Tesco, each with roughly 10 per cent of the retail trade, are entitled to feel less than comfortable at the prospect of Ms Robertson and her team breathing down their necks.
With impeccable timing, Safeway took the wraps off its autumn wine selection this week. News of the award had clearly filtered through to the farthest-flung corporate corners of Safeway, and for a while it was impossible to get near the wines as the management enjoyed themselves as if celebrating a hole in one.
'The faith is there within the company,' said Ms Robertson. 'First and foremost though, the award means recognition from the consumer. Wine is still an area of low confidence among consumers. Not having the residual confidence that Sainsbury's customers enjoyed, what better way to inspire confidence than through this outward testimonial?'
For Ms Robertson, the award will also result in the expansion of the wine range in smaller stores (both existing and planned) such as the new Docklands store, which is one of the 23 to be added in 1992-93 to the existing 323 Safeways around the country.
This week, 112 wines were on show. Among a group of recession-proof reds and whites, the Australians had the better of California by virtue of a six-month start. The cool-fermented, boiled-sweets fruitiness of the Safeway semillon, pounds 2.85, is 1992 vintage fruit, a welcome return to form after last year's relic, and drier than the Californian white. In milk-carton, cork-free Tetrapak, the Australian Dry White, pounds 2.59, is closer to off-dry, as is the spicy, soft, very drinkable Australian Red, pounds 2.65.
Almost equally recession-proof was a handy Eastern European selection. Two reds stood out for value: a gamey, sweetly mature claret-style Special Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 1985 from Romania, given away at pounds 2.99, and a smoky, charred-barrel Suhindol Cabernet Sauvignon 1986 Reserve from Bulgaria, pounds 3.49.
Until the watershed vintages of 1989 and 1990, no supermarket wine buyer would have considered stocking a collection of English wines. But Safeway has committed itself to presenting 13 wines from England and Wales. The idea has been to introduce one wine nationwide, the respectable Valley Vineyards Dry White 1990, pounds 3.99, and to place one each of the remaining 12 in stores local to the vineyard in question.
I preferred the drier styles such as Sharpham Vineyard's Loire-like Estate Selection Dry 1990 (Devon), pounds 4.99; Pilton Manor's rounded Dry Reserve 1990 (Somerset), pounds 4.99; Three Choirs almost chablis-like Seyval/Reichensteiner Dry 1990 (Gloucestershire), pounds 4.49, and Valley Vineyards' refreshingly fruity Regatta 1991 (Berkshire), pounds 4.95.
A section called Late Summer Whites included three old favourites: Montana's sancerre-like 1991 Sauvignon Blanc, pounds 4.99; the award-winning tropical fruit cocktail, Wairau River 1991 Sauvignon Blanc, pounds 6.95, and Hardy's Gewurztraminer Riesling 1991, pounds 4.79. The latter, with its pungent lime and ginger-spice character, was justifiably voted one of the Wine Challenge wines of the year.
Among fuller, autumnal whites, I particularly liked the fresh, ripe fruit character of Domaine de Rivoyre Chardonnay 1991, Vin de Pays d'Oc, pounds 4.99, with its understated brushstroke of oak. Better still, Sogrape's Bairrada Reserva 1990, pounds 5.59, has reached a peak of perfection. Pale gold and nuttily aromatic, the intensity of fruit flavour and full, almost burgundian richness is shocking in a Portuguese white wine.
For sheer hedonism, Rosemount's Roxburgh Chardonnay 1991 offers a brazen display of smoky oak and richly concentrated butterscotch-like fruit. It begs for a special occasion to justify its somewhat steep pounds 16.49 price tag.
Among the lighter reds, I liked the soft, perfumed fruit of Safeway's 1991 Dornfelder, pounds 3.99 and found Chateau Canteloup 1989, pounds 4.99, with its fine cabernet character and mellow, leathery fruit, much the best of the under-pounds 5 clarets.
In the same price bracket, Peter Bright, Joao Pires's innovative Australian winemaker, has produced probably his best-ever Tinta da Anfora. The 1988, pounds 4.99, gold-medal winner and voted one of only two Red Wines of the Year, is soft and spicy with a loganberry-like fruitiness. Next to it, the culture shock of Italy's Salice Salentino Reserva 1986, pounds 4.99, was overpowering. The baked, almost raisin-sweet fruit character of this Mediterranean blockbuster needs room to itself.
I aim to return in the future to the final section of the mostly over-pounds 5 Christmas Reds. It is enough to say for now that Chateau La Salle de Poujeaux 1985, pounds 7.99, the second wine of Chateau Poujeaux, provided an illustration of the hit-and-miss element in blind tastings. Awarded a gold medal at the International Wine Challenge, this pleasant luncheon claret did not measure up to the depth of fruit or finesse of the Chateau Haut Bages Averous 1985, pounds 15.99, the second wine of Chateau Lynch Bages (which only managed a bronze).
I also thought the herbaceous aromas and blackcurrant fruit of Errazuriz Don Maximiano Cabernet Sauvignon 1988, pounds 6.39, was far more satisfying and better value.
Finally, Safeway has introduced four sherries in half-bottles from the excellent house of Lustau. Served chilled as an aperitif with salted nuts and olives, the savoury, refreshing tang of Lustau's Manzanilla, pounds 3.29, is God's gift to the tastebuds.

KPMG is perceived as having the strongest capabilities of any provider in the global sustainability assurance marketplace, according to the latest Green Quadrant report from sustainability analyst firm Verdantix.
The research reflects the views of decision makers from businesses in seven countries with combined revenues in excess of $350bn (£214m).
More than two thirds (67 per cent) of those interviewed said that KPMG member firms have 'strong capabilities' in sustainability assurance and that they have either already engaged or are likely to engage a KPMG member firm to carry out sustainability assurance services.
KPMG's Survey of Corporate Responsibility Reporting 2013 (published on 9 December 2013) revealed that sustainability assurance has reached a tipping point among many of the world's largest companies.
Well more than half (59 per cent) of the 250 largest companies (defined by the Fortune 2012 listing) now invest in external assurance for sustainability reporting — an increase of 13 percentage points since KPMG's last survey in 2011 when less than half (46 per cent) did so.
