FINALIZED- Old School Pinewood Derby Throwdown- Date TBD

[mndsm]

Rule #3: Before being allowed on the track, your car will be dropped onto your unprotected crotch from a height of 5'

That should impose a weight limit where cheating is counterbalanced by lulz for the rest of us, no?

That's a halfway decent rule right there.

 

[AJ]

I'm game. lol

 

[mndsm]

Unless someone has no boys left, or no boys to begin with. I'd bet Taya could take a harder crotch shot than I could.

 

[dmention7]

Rule #4: No girls allowed.

 

[Grappler]

^ hahaha

 

[AJ]

There should also be a "no tuck" rule before said drop, to ensure fair "playground"...

 

[dmention7]

Sorry Tom I didn't mean to derail your plans if you're serious about doing it by the book. The mnmazda style of taking ideas way too far is pretty much inevitable sometimes...

 

[mndsm]

At this point, I'm not too worried about it. It seems like only a handful of people were even remotely interested anyhow, no matter the circumstances.

 

[DrWebster]

Yeah man, sad truth is that, at this point, this shit ain't gonna happen. Tis the MNMazda way of things.

 

[mndsm]

Yup. Oh well. I s'pose if someone was to actually speak to some interest in doing a simple, old fashioned Pinewood Derby I'm in. But other than that....

 

[YSOSLO]

sonuva.....I already had my design all ready to go!!

 

[AJ]

I don't really care what we do, but Tom you came up with the idea and post so why not just finalize it, tweak a simple rule or two for more design fun, and let's just do it.

Fair enough. MOVING THREAD TO FINALIZED!!!!!

 

[mndsm]

Ok, to attempt to get this pig off the ground, I'm going to finalize it. For now (unless someone actually wants to attempt the loop build) we'll run off official BSA track plans. If you need to know the scale, it's in the thread, somewhere. I'd like to stick with at least BSA rules regarding weight... But since I'm in the mood to mess with the wheels, I'm gonna call the wheels free game.

 

[Workdawg]

Finalized was supposed to be when the date and time were determined... <.<

 

[mndsm]

Minor details.

 

[AJ]

lol

 

[YSOSLO]

Holy crap! This is really happening?! We should say there's a $10 entrance fee/donation that the club with donate to a cure for cancer and we've killed 2 birds with one stone! (disabling the exclamation point key now)

 

[mndsm]

This is sort of really happening. I moved it to finalized, which in my world is the equivalent of pushing out the window. Either it's gonna fly and work, or it's gonna be dead quick.

 

[Grappler]

so are what are the rules exactly that we have decided on?
