Weigh-in is Saturday 2/1 9AM-11AM at Cedar Ridge Cafeteria
Race is Sunday 2/2 11AM-2:30PM at Eden Prairie Center Mall, Central Rotunda
Eden Prairie Center Opens @ 11:00 --- Event in Central Rotunda
A placeholder has been left on the calendar for pictures. Flags will be set up and den leaders can coordinate group photos during the scheduled time. Due to a significant pricing increase, we elected not to have a professional photographer coordinating photos this year.
We need several volunteers to ensure that everything runs smoothly on race day. Please let me know if you are available to assist in any capacity. See the sign-up genius link for volunteer opportunities: 2025 Pinewood Derby Volunteers. We are especially in need of an additional car judge coordinator for the day of the event.
I'm attaching the event schedule and will have paper copies available on race day at the info booth.
We are allowed to use the community room in the lower level of Eden Prairie Center for coat storage if you'd like. It's down the steps and behind the elevator. Security will keep the community room locked for us, but I would suggest not storing anything that you care about down there, and leaving your coats, etc in the car. Please do not leave your coats on tables, chairs, or on the floor, per Eden Prairie Center event management.
Are we still accepting Open Class cars?
Absolutely! Just bring them to weigh-in.
What if I can't make it to Weigh-in or the Race?
Text or call Brian Wild for an early weigh-in or send your car to weigh-in with a friend.
You don't have to be present to race a car, win trophies, and get your timing results.
What if my car is not completed or lost or destroyed?
If your car needs a few adjustments, just show up to weigh-ins and we’ll work to help you cross the finish line in style! If you need a new block, please let me know ASAP – Do NOT wait until weigh-ins!
