The minimum width between the inside surfaces of the wheels shall be 1-3/4 inches so that the car will clear the center guide strip The maximum width (including wheels and axles) shall not exceed 2-3/4 inches. The maximum length of the car shall not exceed 7 inches. Wheels must be made in the USA so everyone starts out with the same kit and the same wheels. All cars entered must be newly built after September 1, of the current-scouting year using the materials in the Official Pinewood Derby Racing Car Kit (Can only be purchased at a Scout Shop or part #17006) or the Official Wheel/Axle Kit (part #17553, #17554, #17555, #17556, #17557). Remind parents that they should feel free to help with the cars, but to keep in mind that it is each Scout’s project. Building a Pinewood Derby entry is a Cub Scout-adult project.
