Some things that you all should know about as many of you work with or race at council's, district's, and pack's events... I can tell you first hand that it is not always smooth sailing. We have had to spend a lot of time and resources in getting things lined up with our council for this year. Thus in a large part the reason for my delay in getting information posted & updated. We are very fortunate to have a Council that supports this amazing annual event that is the Pinnacle pinewood derby race for Cub Scouting, plus we have historically had Pro Racing as part of our event... offering a neutral site and track that those across all leagues can come together and race in an exciting venue. Not to mention an entire set of fun filled things going on that Cub Scout, Families, and Pro Racers will have a BLAST at this year's MAPWD Both custom Best Track - tracks have been upgraded and modified with lots of custom features - offering the Highest level of a fast, fair and consistent track.

Alphonso Peluso AKA 'The Fonze' has been racing in the leagues since 2016. He was bitten by the pinewood derby bug after he and his son entered their first scout pinewood derby race. Alphonso is an Architect and College Professor who's work is centered around 3D Printing. All of his derby cars are 3D Printed and he was the first racer to build 3D Printed Cars. He spent 2 years perfecting his 3D Printed Car Bodies. In 2018 he became the first racer to win the Man of the Mountain with a 3D Printed Car when he won the Unlimted Championship. You can now purchase the same car bodies that Alphonso has perfected over the years.
