DIRECTIONS: RACE - WIN - REPEAT!

Welcome to the home of the 3rd Annual running of the Wanchanagi Cup Series, a Pinewood Derby for our community groups and businesses to get involved and show their support for the programs of the Boy Scouts of America. 

Your participation in our race day events will benefit more then 15,000 young men and women served by the Blackhawk Area Council and your sponsorship will help support Scouting throughout Northern Illinois and Southwest Wisconsin. 

We are pleased to have our event hosted once again at the Forest Hills Lodge in Loves Park (adjacent to the Rockford Speedway) on Sunday October 28th.  The day will include a traditional Pinewood Derby (following Cub Scout rules), a "Muscle Car Class" Race where rules are pretty loose, and various racing themed events for our younger guests.  New in 2007, Scout-o-rama Experience will provide a chance to meet some of our Scouts and leaders while watching them show off their skills (maybe try some yourself).  There is much more planned for this day of fun all to support the youth of our communities so regularly check the "EVENT INFO" link on this page for what will be going on at during the race.

Derby Car racing is open to anyone in our community and will be organized in three divisions; Corporate (for local businesses), Non Profit/Civic/Service (for service clubs, churches, or other non profit organizations), and Individual (for any person or family who would like to show their support for Scouting).  Trophies will be given for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place finishers in each division.

For Corporate and Non Profit division racers, Team Builder's Challenge is available to any "Event Sponsors" ($500 sponsors and above) to use as a Team Building program for your organization.  This program is designed to have your members/employees work together to build the car, race the car at the event and the team from your organization that wins will receive a special plaque.

The entire event is open to the public to come watch the races, take part in our activity areas or visit our Scout-o-rama Experience.
