According to the 2010 Mall Show Pinewood Derby Rules, the derby car must consist of the parts provided in the original BSA kit. If a car has the colored wheels, they will be disqualified, but the cub will be allowed to change the wheels to one of the two approved "black" wheels provided in the 2009 or 2008 BSA Derby Kits. To avoid altering the car, the Packs are asked to inform their membership of this requirement and to uphold the guidelines in the Mall Show rules to ensure that the cars that arrive at the mall will qualify to race without modifications. 1.   A reminder: Contact Pam Hupp for a Unit display location ASAP.
