I had to do the pinewood derby a couple of times. it was pretty fun. Finished middle of the pack the first time, but won it all the second time. When it comes time to help your kids with it, take the little nails that the wheels turn on and shave them down to make them smaller in diameter right where the wheel will spin. I took them and mounted them in a drill and ground the shafts down as thin as possible without them breaking. Then hit them with a little graphite powder. That made a HUGE difference over the nails in their original form. Everything else is purely luck in my opinion.
