Pinewood Derby Track, SuperTrack start
SuperTrack - Pinewood Derby Track

SuperTrack is a unique ABS plastic track that easily assembles without tools. It is very durable as well as very lightweight (about ½ the weight of a wood track) and is shipped in a rugged polypropylene box that can also be used for storage. Box size is only 7’ long, 8” wide and 8” high. It comes with an slide-in starting gate, a car catching garage, a plug together ramp/stand and eight US flags. Each section is 7’ long and two lanes wide for very easy handling. A five minute installation video is also provided. It’s available in 4 lane or 6 lanes with lengths of 35, 42 or 49 feet. All Lanes are numbered at both the start and finish. It's okay if the racers walk on it!



Pinewood Derby Timer, SuperTimer II electronics Pinewood Derby Track finish line
SuperTimer II - Pinewood Derby Timer

SuperTimer II is a self-contained, precision timer especially designed for Pinewood Derby Racing. It automatically announces the times and/or places of each lane in a heat. It includes a solenoid activated start function so that each racer can start a heat. And, it features solid state finish line sensors which don’t obscure the view and that completely eliminate the nagging problems associated with photo or IR detectors. SuperTimer II is available for any number of lanes from 3 to 6 with or without RaceManager software.(Finish line picture shows SuperTimer II (our Pinewood Derby Timer) mounted to SuperTrack (our Pinewood Derby Track) with foam 'garage'. The racers love to hear it talk!


Pinewood Derby Software, RaceManager RaceManager - Pinewood Derby Software

RaceManager is a Windows compatible software program that completely manages your Pinewood Derby Race. It connects to SuperTimer II through a conventional serial or USB port and interacts with SuperTimer II to schedule and manage a fair race with lots of winners. No one is 'eliminated', all cars run the same number of races. RaceManager can create Teams, such as Dens or Patrols, and produce an overall Team winner as well as results within each team. Its unique speed matched scheduling means lots of close races with no one eliminated. Use your video projector to show the heat results on a wall!


Philosophy

At SuperTimer we always keep in mind our answer to the question, “What’s the purpose of the Pinewood Derby?” We don’t think that the answer is, “To find a winner.” Rather, we think the purpose of the Pinewood Derby is. “To provide a positive experience for the organization, the parent and the child.” (With emphasis on the child.) We always try to think like an 8 year old. [Some would say we succeed even when we don’t try!] Would an 8 year old like to be eliminated? Would an 8 year old like to run only twice? And, lose both times? What would an 8 year old do (and get in trouble doing) once he was eliminated? How would an 8 year old feel if he lost because of a slow lane? All of our products are designed to eliminate those kinds of problems and, as we said, “To provide a positive experience for the organization, the parent and the child.” (With emphasis on the child.)
