Thanks for checking out our page.  Here is a bit about us. Diesel Derby was started simply for two reasons: the love of Pinewood Derby and an interest in good looking cars.

My sons and I have been making Pinewood Derby cars for years.  We quickly noticed there are a lot of sites teaching all the tips and tricks for making a car fast, but very few offered unique looking cars. The cars on the sites that did offer interesting designs were not all that easy to build, so we decided to put together some of the plans we have built over the years. These pinewood derby cars are easy to build with limited wood working skills. They always get a lot of attention on race day. Most of the Dads are surprised to hear that not a lot of time goes into building one; in fact they can often take about the same amount of time as a normal car.

We hope you decide to build a Diesel Derby car.  They are a lot of fun!
