| The Design of your car
body, and the ratio between the amount of Pinewood and Lead Weight
as well as the Position of it’s Center of Mass is THE single most
important factor in taking full advantage of Gravity (which is the
only, I repeat -ONLY-- positive force you have Pulling you down the
Slope of the Track. You MUST take extra time and thought designing
your pinewood body to take advantage of Every Ounce of potential
energy available to you. Other Racers are trying to squeeze every
bit of performance out of their cars and they will leave you in the
dust and they will walk away with the trophy if you don’t fully
explore this critical aspect of Body design
fully.

The In the video you will see just how moving the center of mass on the car affects the performance of the car. Hint = It's not-- JUST-- 'in the back'--. So don't assume anything. Our tests show you everything. And with this important info YOUR car will gain that extra energy edge the other wont have! You've gotta remember that even the smallest detail can seperate the Winner's from all the rest. Fractions of an inch usually determine going to Districts so We take the extra time to show you in Live Video and with Computer Generated Graphic animations exactly what's going on! Why? Because we want YOU to WIN !

This video will help you understand exactly what makes a pinewood car go fast. And how to apply the scientific laws of physics to your own car. My testing procedures are easy to understand and backed up with results you can see for yourself. You will be able to see how important each test is. Remember, fractions of an inch can separate first place from all the rest. Were going to talk about the three main areas you must concentrate on when designing your pinewood car. The first is Maximizing potential energy where were going to go over car design and how to weight your car for Maximum performance. Next is Eliminating friction. Im going to show you how to do this on both the axels and the wheels. Finally well talk about making it run straight. Well discuss how to tune your car and what final checks should be made before raceday. So let’s get started. |
| Lets Identify Specific areas of friction on the axels of the pinewood derby car. As your car moves down the track, friction between the axels and the wheels slow down your car. Of course EVERYONE uses graphite to reduce friction, but if you want the fastest car possible, you need to take it a step further! And we show exactly HOW TO DO THIS! As you can see the largest friction area is the axel shaft it’self, the other area we can work on is the inner nail head. Since the axel shaft is the largest contributor to friction, a change here would do the most good. First, look at your axels and find the small raised grooves. Now because these are “NAILS” and not perfectly machined axels, they are not really round and also have all sorts of imperfections due to the process of making the nails. |  |
 |
When your car is moving the wheels can also cause friction similar to a caliper brake on a bicycle. The inner side of your pinewood derby wheel causes braking action when it rubs against the body of the car. We have already reduced this ‘torque braking’ on the outer side of the wheel by modifying the inner nail head of the axel so now lets focus on how to reduce this braking action against the body. The solution is similar : reduce the area and we will reduce the friction. Since you can't eliminate the wheel from hitting the body a few times when your car moves down the track, lets’ minimize the friction impact on the area that will actually rub against the body by reducing it’s size. This is the science of speed. But everyone pretty much knows this stuff. In the VIDEO, We go Way beyond this - - We Show you WHAT OTHERS DO NOT KNOW. For example, by using our advanced wheel Techniques, we show you exactly how you can |

| Final testing and tune up. If you want your car to take off line a rocket, you’ve gotta fine tune it! First lets make sure your axels line up at a 90 degree angle to the body. This “squaring’ procedure insures that your axels (without the wheels) line up both horizontally AND vertically at 90 degrees. Once the do, we will install the wheels for the FINAL time and Fine Tune it each of them individually. The important thing here is to take your time.You can use a tire to determine the correct depth for the axel, which should be the tire width + 1/8 “ or you can just use 7/16” without the tire. We have made up a Square, although you can probably purchase a plastic one separately. But since we custom make most of our equipment, this is what we use. It is 7/16” wide, and has a 90 degree angle at one end. Now we want to look to see if it’s square. |  |
 |
After squaring your axels. We move on to the final alignment. We show you the specific adjustment situations and exactly how to correct each of them. Again, we examine each situation one wheel at a time. When a wheel needs adjustment, you will have to shim it to correct for the misalignment. Now, these shims are ADDED to any shims you already have installed and it does'nt mean that you did anything wrong when you set up your axels. It just means that you are fine tuning a COMBINATION of parts to act TOGETHER with the least amount of friction possible. (This is a GOOD thing). We have set up all four examples (and there are ONLY FOUR ! ) for you with the Alignment problem you may encounter and the correct placement of the shims. Note that we Show these examples in CGI animations AND in real time on an actual pinewood derby racer so you fully unerstand exactly what to do. This is the FINAL stage of your alignment. After this you can add graphite and you will be done! But, this is super important, so You want to try your hardest to get it perfect. |
