About Crossfire's Pinewood Derby

About Crossfire's Pinewood Derby

The Pinewood Derby is a great memory many of us hold from childhood. Hanging out with dad or grandpa, carving out your vehicle from a block of wood, assembling the pieces together and competing to win a trophy at the big event. We are giving the opportunity for families together with their young children to do something all ages can enjoy and make those precious memories. This is headed up by Tim Selander, Timothy Spencer and Caleb Selander. We hope you enjoy your time with your kids or grandchildren, making the most of this event and having FUN with it!
