Public Derby Day! - Cub Scout Pack 182 (Searcy, Arkansas)

•You must pick the design of your car and cut, paint, decorate it etc.

•Derby cars require weights to help them go faster- There will be a weigh in prior to the race. Cars can not weigh more than 5 ounces to be able to race.(Tip: you can glue pennies to the bottom of the car or you can purchase weight kits at Lowes for $3.98-- Item #: 339231 |Model #: RMXY8625)

•In order for the wheels to work properly,it is best to put graphite on them. This allows them to spin properly and the car to go faster. (This can be purchased at Lowes as well for $3.98--item #: 339229 | Model#: RMXY8626)

•As a pack, we try to have work days where tools will be available for you to use to cut your car design. Please bring the design with you to these work days so that we can get all the cars shaped
