2011 Car Specifications for the
San Diego 500..
Revell Inc. has purchased the rights to produce Pinewood Derby kits and mass-market them throughout the United States. Using the US-made wheels the company is combining the wheels and axles with parts made in China to produce a variety of parts and kits with the "Official Licensed Product" with the BSA hologram seal. The kits are nicely packaged and include several versions that offer all the necessary parts including wood body, wheels, axles, sandpaper, paint, brush and directions. Other kits are offered that include only the basics while you can order only the basic wood block The kits are offered at all larger hobby stores and at the retail chain stores. The selection may vary from store to store. Of course, you can buy online if you can't find what you want at the store. Don't forget your local Scout Shop or national store but you'll find a variety of kits, weight styles and trim at your hobby store that may not see at the BSA store. Revell appears to be repackaging the new BSA color wheels too. They are repackaged but carry the same molding marks and BSA identification. Make sure to check for BSA wheels as many stores also sell other items that may be illegal for your race. http://www.revell.com/pinewood-derby/index.html
