Re: A Pinewood Derby movie??? Yup!
That is all too funny, a Pinewood Derby movie. It should be humorous (maybe a little too close to reality than we'd prefer) but it sounds like the ending has a good twist. I like the line from one of the kids, "I can't till I grow up and can build my own car and race it."

It sounds hilarious. Looking forward to taking the family to see it.
Re: A Pinewood Derby movie??? Yup!
It does sound like fun -- it refers to "the guy that wrote the Pinewood Derby bible" -- does that mean Stan has a cameo?

No ... there is/was such a publication, but I am neither involved with it nor comfortable with many of its attitudes.TDean wrote:it refers to "the guy that wrote the Pinewood Derby bible" -- does that mean Stan has a cameo?

Sorry Stan -- no offense intended --
of course, I was referring to what we all consider the unofficial PWD bible: "Learn to Build a Winner".....

This may be that to which Stan is referring. http://www.fastpine.com/Stan Pope wrote:No ... there is/was such a publication, but I am neither involved with it nor comfortable with many of its attitudes.
The "bible" in the trailer looks more like a real Bible, and appears to be a little more than the 40 pages advertised in the link above.

Note that Don Murphy is in the movie as himself.

The word is getting out about this site! Derby Talk is one of the listed sites on the related links page at http://www.downandderby.com/derbyzone03.html
Of course, I think their list it pretty incomplete. There are so many other commercial and non-commercial websites that are great resources to racers and race coordinators. I wonder where they got their list.

Re: A Pinewood Derby movie??? Yup!
Anyone know what ever came of this movie? The website is very vague about release date - led me to believe it might go straight to video?

Re: A Pinewood Derby movie??? Yup!
I sent an e-mail to the contact info at the website and asked the same question. They did respond and told me to sign up at their website for more info.Sparky wrote:Anyone know what ever came of this movie?

I originally signed up for additonal info back when this was first posted.
That is the last I heard from them. I guess we wait...

I think they should release in December as many races are in January with the build up to the race starting in December. Well, I'm looking forward to seeing it regardless of when it comes out.Mike Parrish wrote:I guess we wait...
