As we enter 2013, let us call to mind that 60 years ago Don Murphy created this Pinewood Derby world that we now enjoy and owe so much to.
Perhaps at your races in 2013 recognition can be given to this milestone Happy Birthday.
Derby Gurus will definitely be running some specials to honor the event, especially in May to commemorate the first race on 5/15/53.

We have built some of these old cars several years ago for WIPR Race. I believe the original cars look older than the cars we raced.

I believe that cut out seat section was a standard feature of the block for a while. Just like real vintage autos, those vintage PWD cars are awesome. Nice work.
