A local Pinewood Derby competition transforms an average group of dads into overzealous rivals desperate to build the winning car. As egos swell, the kids are lucky if they get to pick the paint color. While the dads are busy with outlandish gimmicks and sabotage, the underestimated scouts pull together and discover the true meaning of sportsmanship.

I love this movie. 🙂 Not sure how accurate this is to other Scout Dads, but I know I had my stepson polishing his derby car’s nails/axles in a makeshift lathe. (A drill clamped in a vice) lol. Less friction = faster down the track.
We did win and we built shadow boxes for two of his winning derby cars. They’re on display in my workshop. 😀
I didn’t know mr miagi was in this movie. And I didn’t know Don Murphy was in this movie as well. What a great cast in down and derby.
Lauren Holly headlights tractor beam sucked me right in….
