It is usually quiet this time of year but it may be "extra" quiet since there is another race that weekend.

Unfortunately, I won't be sending a car in this month. I got half way through building a new pure stock and then couldn't find a bunch of my pinewood derby stuff. These last few weeks I've been moving to a new house and I'm still not unpacked all the way. My last car wasn't fast and the car before that has been broken in several places. I'm trying to get better at packing I plan on sending a car in for August.

I too am going to miss this month. Many things are going on around the shop and with getting Sky Racing off to the National Jamboree it has taken up a lot of my time.
One of the big things going on at the Derby Evolution shop is that I just took delivery of a new laser, so I will be spending some time getting this machine up and running. This machine is going to allow us to do custom bodies for racers, custom cover plates, trophies, custom fender designs, and we will be able to include things like logos, racing names, even photo engravings. This laser will be located in the shop and not at another facility as it had in the past allowing us to stay more current with market trends and demand.

Texas, That is a great question! My target to have the machine up and going is within 7 days. This will include installing the laser, fine tuning it, installing the programs, changing over files, and writing some new programs for it. I have written ten new files today just for this laser. Spacewalkermodels.com and Derbyevolution.com have both worked very hard this summer. We both have worked hand in hand to provide the best products for Pinewood Derby racers. While we have always provided the best that we could, we also have been working toward providing better products. It doesn't matter if you are a scout racer or a league racer, the guys that are working with Derby Evolution are working to provide the best products and service. Derby Evolution is currently working with several organizations around the country to provide programs for scouts, we should never forget this is where Pinewood Derby racing started. I will be working closely with several venues to provide racing and workshops for scouts and league racers. This is going to pull me away from racing some, but Derbyevolution.com and Spacewalkermodels.com are fully committed to PWDRacing.com.

Texas,
The new laser is all fired up and ready to go. As a matter of fact I am doing some of the best cutting I have ever done. I am also playing with some new stuff.
