Mulberry District Pinewood Derby Rules

All cars racing at District Pinewood Derby must meet the following
specifications:

Maximum length -7"
Maximum width - 2 3/4"
Weight - not over 5 ounces
Width between wheels -- 1 3/4"
Bottom clearance between car and track - 3/8"
No wheel bearings, washers or bushings.
No riding on springs.
Only official Cub Scout Grand Prix Pinewood Derby wheels and axles permitted.
Dry lubricant only.
Free wheeling car -- no starting devices..

There is no rule concerning "pre-cut" cars, however Best In Show weighs *heavily* in favor of those cars that "appear" to have been made by a boy. A car that appears built by an adult is less likely to win Best In Show.
