Pinewood League Car Kit – Stinger

Experience the thrill of racing with the “Pinewood League Car Kit – Stinger” – a finely crafted, entry-league pinewood derby car engineered for speed and precision. Tailored for racers who want a competitive edge right out of the box, the Stinger promises performance that can help you dominate the track. This car kit is no gimmick – it’s the result of years of fine-tuning to achieve blazing-fast speeds and happy customers nationwide.

Blazing Speed Guaranteed

With an impressive track record, the Stinger guarantees times of 2.489 seconds or faster on a 35-foot BestTrack (30.75 ft from pin to finish). This speed is based on meticulous testing with a custom prototype TimeStopper and is backed by real-world data to give you the confidence you need on race day. Many builders claim speed, but few provide proof – each Stinger comes with a unique serial number linked to a YouTube video that documents its timed trial. This isn’t just marketing; it’s evidence of performance.

Turn-Key Design: Ready to Race

The Stinger arrives fully assembled, painted, and track-tested with a durable yet simple metallic finish. This is a no-nonsense car built for racing, not fancy aesthetics. It’s ready to go out of the box, meaning no additional assembly, tuning, or paint is needed. While the design is straightforward, you have the freedom to add custom detailing if desired, letting you personalize the car to your liking.

Optimized for Racing Precision

The Stinger is designed with performance in mind, featuring:

• Aerodynamic fenders and a low-profile design (under 0.6” in height) to minimize drag and boost speed.
• 3-wheel rail riding setup – an advanced design that reduces friction and increases stability by running on three wheels instead of four.
• Fast Start Front End to ensure your car starts ahead of the competition.
• Rear wheels cambered at 3 degrees and dry-lubed to minimize friction.

Your Choice of Wheels and Weight

Customization is key, and the Stinger offers options to match your preferences. Choose from various wheel weights and types that meet derby standards and complement the car’s design. Each car weighs approximately 4.993-4.997 oz., with the final balance achieved using tungsten putty, which can be adjusted for on-the-fly weight changes.

Center of Gravity (COG) Perfected for Speed

Each Stinger car is weighted with lead for optimal center of gravity, achieving a balance of 1/2-3/4″ in front of the rear axle. This COG placement is crucial for stability and maximum speed, helping the car power down the track with minimal wobble.

Track-Tested for Consistent Performance

Every Stinger is tested on a center-guide track, with simulations of up to 300 races to ensure stability and eliminate fishtailing. We document and share our process to demonstrate our commitment to quality – our cars are timed and tuned to meet speed standards that often surpass competitors.

Built by an Expert with Decades of Derby Experience

The Stinger isn’t just a car; it’s the product of expert craftsmanship. The builder behind this car has spent years honing the art of speed-focused design, ensuring that every car is built to help racers excel. This isn’t a mass-produced kit but a meticulously assembled car kit that has been shaped by experience, dedication, and a true passion for the sport.
