Hello Fellow Racers:
It is becoming a tradition in pinewood derby racing that each year the top racers in the country gather together for a live event to meet face-to-face, share knowledge and friendship, and have a great day of competition.
This year, the best-of-the-best will showcase their skills on August 30, 2008, at the "1st Annual BlueGrass Nationals" Open Pinewood Derby Race in Somerset, KY. This event promises to be the most competitive, exciting and fun National event ever. Sponsors are already coming on board for this fun filled day of racing and camaraderie !!
Picturesque Somerset is an easy drive from a major National Airport in Lexington, Kentucky. The venue for the race, "The Center" in downtown Somerset, is a State-of-the-Art conference facility that is ideal for an event such as this.
Due to the popularity of Somerset as a vacation spot, and the race being held Labor Day weekend, hotels will book fast. So, don't miss this opportunity to match your building skills against the fastest racers in Nation. Book your transportation and lodging reservations now.
More details about the race, including hotels within 5 miles of "The Center" are provided below. So with much excitement..
