Why Buy Pinewood Derby Cars From Us?
Ease
It shouldn't be that hard to make a good looking pinewood derby car that goes fast. Some Internet sites try to make it into rocket science that most people don't have the desire or the time to figure out. We try to make it as simple as possible for you to make a great car and have a great race experience. We do everything we can to match our superior product with superior customer service. We’re here to serve you.
Quality
Our blocks come with preset axle slots. This is key to fast cars. Because our axle grooves have been sawed on a twin bladed table saw, they are always exactly parallel. Also, our axle slots are perfectly square to provide good alignment. The leading edge of the axle is tapered, making for easier insertion into the axle groove.
Price
We offer an exceptional product at a great price. 25 years of experience tells us that you won’t find a better product at a better price. Our dimensions of 7 inches long by 1 3/4 inches wide accurately duplicate the dimensions of the BSA block. We encourage you to shop around and compare prices. We can honestly say that we are not aware of any deal out there that is even close to what we offer. If you find one, please let us know.
Free Shipping
We offer free standard shipping (3-7 days). Priority shipping (2-3 days) is only $2 per dozen cars. The bottom line is that you save money.
Top Quality Wood
We use only hand-selected, molding-grade white pine. Because of this, your car will be guaranteed knot-free. Good wood means you don’t have to worry about your child’s car falling apart due to knots or other major imperfections.
Axles
Our axles have no burr or crimp marks and install without hub caps. Our standard axles are comparable to the high-priced "speed axles" that other companies offer.
Wheels
Quite simply, our wheels rock! They have been specifically manufactured with a “racer’s edge.” This means they have a narrower base that is actually touching the track but the overall wheel width is the same. Bottom line? Less friction means your car goes faster. Also, it is not necessary to debur our wheels. During manufacturing, the product is checked regularly to ensure that the wheels are always perfect. This results in only top-quality wheels specifically designed and made for us by our own local manufacturer. Again, our standard wheels are equal or superior to many of the high priced wheels that you can special order.
Applicability
Our ShapeNRace cars are great for local races sponsored by BSA, Awana, YMCA, and other children's organizations, as well as corporate, neighborhood, or community races. Many BSA and Awana groups choose to use our cars instead their officially sanctioned cars because of our lower prices and higher quality product. If your derby plans to send winners on to regional races, our cars will probably not work for you. If there is any question about eligibility, please ask the person in charge of your derby to clarify the issue.
Satisfied Customers
Over the last 25 years, it has brought us great satisfaction to hear how pleased people are with our product and service. We will work hard to make it simple for you to have a great race.

Dear Eldon Manteuffel,
We just received your package. Everything was as described. The quality of the wood was excellent and the packaging was top notch! As a first-time-cubmaster I want to thank you for making this a whole lot easier.
