Re: anyone ever hear of a blackwood derby
sounds like a air born, shoot the car and try to get it to land in the barrel and pick up the pieces.

Re: anyone ever hear of a blackwood derby
With the vision of these craft as "Pinewood Derby Cars", the event seems almost profane. I must try to think of them as unrelated to the love, hope and dedication that a youngster applies to their creation.

Seems a little beyond the original plans of Don Murphy.
My wife started a new support group... Widows of the Pinewood Derby.

This would be fun. Most likely against all principles of NAR though.

The barrel is 50' from the end of the ramp... I just don't see any of the cars coming close to that 50'.
And I hope they use the C6-0 motor or D12-0 motor.. these do not have any ejection charge.
The ejection could cause pieces of the car to turn in to shrapnel.
