Title
Pinewood Derby - Reach Maximum Velocity!
Description
From Randy Davis, Owner of Maximum Velocity!
Several years ago, my children began participating in the pinewood derby at our church. Although we had fun, our initial results were not particularly noteworthy. But I noticed that there were a few families that consistently entered very fast cars. So, having an engineering background, I began studying pinewood derby techniques.
Then, in 1997 I was given the opportunity to serve as the Derby Master for our derby. In a desire to improve the competition by making the basic techniques known to all the entrants, I wrote the booklet "Maximum Velocity! - Speed to the Finish" The booklet was then, and continues to be distributed with every car kit sold at our race. Since that time, the booklet has been through eight major revisions, and is now in its ninth edition.
In 1999, several people suggested that the booklet should be made available on a broader scale. As my wife and I were inclined towards starting a business, we launched the Maximum Velocity! web site in October of that year.
