lynncc 10 Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 not sure what I'm asking. Have looked at several websites that describe building and race tips but how do you actually put on the race? We will have the 2 rain gutters set up but how do you do the "brackets" "heats" race things. thanks lynn Link to post Share on other sites
EagleInKY 14 Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 I would run it in a rotation format just like a two-lane PW Derby race. Link to post Share on other sites

knottyfox 10 Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 There are a bunch of websites with premade charts showing what needs to be done to have Heats. Kinda looks like an org chart. Knotty Link to post Share on other sites
ScoutNut 147 Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 Here is the Sterns Method for PWD rotation: http://www.wtrfrd.com/pack339/339stern.htm This explains it pretty well and includes the download of the dos program & also some spreadsheet programs. You put in the # of lanes, # of boys, & the time of the race in hours & it spits out a shedule of what car (or boat) races in what lane. Have fun! Link to post Share on other sites
anarchist 10 Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 LOVE THE RAIN GUTTER! TAKE LOTS OF PICTURES...easier to do than the PWD. UNLESS YOU HAVE A VERY SMALL PACK SET UP AT LEAST 4 if not six gutters....more time for more racing! check the web sites and see which elimination or rotation your parents feel most comfortable with before you select...at least get several points of view before you decide... Over the years we have settled into a double elimination by dens to get the top eight boats or ten boats and then run a second set of races for top in the Pack...(this is a SATURDAY activity with family lunches etc...not normal pack meeting!)
