It is that time of year Scouts/Adults will be building Pinewood Derby Cars to race a Mid America. Please review the rules and remember all cars which race at Mid America "The main body structure must be made of pinewood".

Mid American Rules update for 2019. The only rule change for this years race deals with the fluting (small decorative dots) around the entire circumference of the wheel. Starting this year there is no longer a requirement for the fluting (small decorative dots to be there. The rules on the Mid American Pinewood Derby page will be updated shortly to reflect this rule change. There are no other changes to the 2019 Mid American Pinewood Derby rules.

Air Cooled thanks for starting this thread and for getting us thinking about Mid America / Nationals. Hopefully Greg will chime in soon because more information is needed. Who is running nationals this year? Racers keep in mind that in the past there have been 2 separate rule sets for Mid America and Nationals. Last year Nationals rules did not specify the body material and 3D Printed cars were allowed.
