Other Races
As the popularity of the pinewood derby grew, other organizations adopted the concept. Pinewood derby is a registered trademark of the BSA, so most use different names. Each derby has slightly different rules for making and racing their cars.
- Awana has the Awana Grand Prix.
- Christian Service Brigade uses the name Shape N Race Derby.
- Royal Ambassadors have RA Racers.
- Royal Rangers use a different kit with an original style narrow wheel, adjustable screw axle and wooden dowel axle housing.
- Scouts Canada has the Kub Kar Rally for Cub Scouts, Beaver Buggies for Beaver Scouts, and Scout Express trucks for Scouts.
- Valve cover racing is an event at some car shows using vehicles made from valve covers.
- Woodcar Independent Racing League open to anyone of any age
- YMCA chule cars use the same kit as the Royal Rangers.
- BSA has recently added an 18-wheeler category to Pinewood Derby, similar to Scout Express trucks from Scouts Canada.

Famous quotes containing the word races:
“This Administration has declared unconditional war on poverty and I have come here this morning to ask all of you to enlist as volunteers. Members of all parties are welcome to our tent. Members of all races ought to be there. Members of all religions should come and help us now to strike the hammer of truth against the anvil of public opinion again and again until the ears of this Nation are open, until the hearts of this Nation are touched, and until the conscience of America is awakened.”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
“While the white man keeps the impetus of his own proud, onward march, the dark races will yield and serve, perforce. But let the white man once have a misgiving about his own leadership, and the dark races will at once attack him, to pull him down into the old gulfs.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
