Woodland Scenics P350 Pine Car Derby Round Weights - 1 oz

McFarland Cub Scout Pack 53 uses round weights to get their pinewood derby cars up to the proper weight. Before the cars are cut out from the block of wood, three 3/8" holes are drilled in the back of each car to the proper depth to accommodate the full length of the weight. A bolt cutter is used to remove pieces from each weight until the weight of the car, wheels, and axles are at 5.00 ounces. Using pre-drilled holes in the block of wood allows the Scouts (both Cub Scouts and Girl Scouts) to not have to worry about adding weight on top of the car if under weight. special note: 3 weeks before the derby we have a car building session at the fire station where the Scouts learn how to build a car that will finish the race. We also have an open class for adults ...

Worked great! My son won 1st place twice, 2nd place twice, and 3rd place once. 4th place overall out of 20 kids. Easy to use and clear instructions
