Help! My last Pinewood Derby is fast approaching.
Built cars for myself nearly 50 years ago. Son #1 had his last race a couple years ago and son #2 is moving on to Boy Scouts in March. This will be his 4th and final Derby and since I'm out of sons, my final Derby also. We've done the 'go fast' stuff and made it to the Pack semi-finals in years past. This last time, we wanted the car itself to be diferent/special. I sort of thought a red, white and blue torpedo shaped bobsled type of thing in honor of the Olympics would be just the ticket. But NOOoooo, son #2 wants a TRACTOR! I'm trying to tell him, ain't no way we can take a 7" long, 1 3/4" wide, 1 1/4" high block of soft pine and turn it into a Farmall Super A lookin' thing and keepin' the same general dimensions to make it Derby legal.
I'm thinkin' we'll end up with a bobsled shaped car. What do you guys think? Any ideas, help, suggestions?
Thanks in advance for any comments, plans, directions, etc. David H. Dexter, MI.

I’d probably plowed about 3000 acres (in my head anyway) by the time they found me. This is where my love for tractors started and has only gotten worse in my tender 50 yrs on this “green planet”. I’m par
