The S&W Crafts Pinewood Derby Car is the finest Pinewood Racer available. We have been making Pinewood Racers for over 50 years and know what it takes to supply you with the best car on the market. Our Pinewood Derby kits are made with soft wood that is easy to cut, carve and sand for children and adults. Our wheels are virtually unbreakable and each wheel is held in place with a smooth shaft screw that fits into a wood dowel axle housing. This makes the car completely tunable so you can build the fastest and best looking car possible.

SSTCurve Cut w/ Spoiler
SSTCurve Cut w/ Spoiler
Our Price: $22.10

SST Sleek Slim & Trim. The body of the SST is about the same width as the original Racers made in the 1950's and 60's, around 1 1/4". And the thickness of the body is about half the thickness of a regular Racer, around 5/8" thick. The symmetrical profile looks really fast*. The Racer is so light that it comes with our 3.5 .oz weight, and an extra 1/2 .oz of copper coated steel BB's. We have drilled holes in the body for the BB's. Each BB weighs 1/88 of an ounce. Just put BB's in the holes to bring the Racer to the maximum weight, then, screw the car weight to the bottom to cover the holes.

*Will this Racer be faster than another racer that is larger? No one knows. Fast Racers take time and patience. Polishing all parts, wheel alignment, lubrication, and a bit of luck.

Our SST is cut with tools most people don’t own. Table saw, radial arm saw, band saw. Now you can spend more time with a child finishing the Racer.

Pictures

First and second pictures: Everything you get in the kit. Third picture: A Pinewood Racer from the early 1960’s, next to our SST. Look carefully at the side of the old Racer, you will see the signature of “Don Murphy”. I brought that Racer with me to the 50th anniversary of the first Pinewood Derby, May 15, 2003. Don, who created Pinewood Derby, gladly signed my Racer when I asked.

The fourth picture shows the progression from a full size block to the SST. Note the holes for the BB's.
