Pinewood Derby Car Kits

Car kits provide components intended for constructing a wooden racing car. The exact contents vary by product, so review the manufacturer's description to determine which parts are included and whether additional materials are required.

Before selecting a kit, confirm that it meets the requirements of the organization hosting the race.

Wood Blocks for Custom Derby Cars

Wooden blocks give builders the freedom to develop their own car body shapes. From straightforward wedge designs to more elaborate automotive-inspired forms, shaping the block is an important part of the creative building process.

Planning the design before cutting can help preserve the space needed for wheels, weights and other permitted components.
