2nd Annual Oak Park Brewing Company Pinewood Derby

Want to try something new? Odds are very few of you have indulged in the fine art of Pinewood Derby racing. This event will be held at Oak Park Brewing Company which serve up some delicious beers as well as savory food fare. Of course, we all know winning isn’t everything but it sure would be nice, so here are some tips. Since the possibilities for picking a car shape are endless, at least make certain yours has some kind of aerodynamic properties. It also helps to make certain your car has the maximum weight allowed (usually five ounces) which should be disproportionately in the rear end of the car. Thirdly, try to avoid any design with a pointed nose since starting gates weren’t ever made for this shape. Lastly (but certainly not least and most obvious), make sure the front end of your car looks different than the back. This event starts at 11 a.m. and will offer up chances for little ones and adults to be judged independently for design and speed. RSVP now at Facebook.com/OakParkBrewingCompany
