My name is Brian Moore out of Pack 357 in Austell, Ga. I began looking for designs for a Space Derby track on the internet a few months ago, and came to your website. I would like to thank you and whoever else is responsible for the great design. I made a few alterations, but would not have been able to do it without you guys/ gals being so grateful enough to put the design on the internet. I actually just finished the track, and the pack will use it sometime in the very near future. I hope you will pass along my thanks to all who made this. I know our boys will have a great time with this. Thanks, |
| Everything worked GREAT and I got feedback from both cubs and parents that
it was the best pack meeting they'd ever been to. Now, I don't know if I look
clumsy or what, but- without exception- everyone who saw it comments, "You
MADE that?!?!?!" Well, there was one exception, one guy asked, "Where did you
BUY that?" My only real problem was the lumber at the lumber stores- to use a French expression- SUCKS- it's hard to get lumber that's not warped and twisted around here, at least from Lowes. But I figure a coat of paint and some rocket decals and no one will notice. Thanks for posting the pictures on the web- they were a BIG help in figuring things out. Bob |
| I just wanted to let you know that I used your plans for the launcher and
created a similar launcher for our Pack's first (in recent history) Space
Derby. Our launcher has a few differences, mainly due to me having problems
figuring out exactly how everything comes together and attaches when stowed. At any rate, I want to thank you for having the plans on the web. The launcher is a very nice design and worked well on our first use. Jerry Kiestler Webelos Den Leader Pack 274 Memphis, TN www.pack274.com |
| Just wanted to drop you a quick Thank You for having the plans to build a
Space Derby Track on your great website! We built our track using your
detailed plans and we had a very successful and more importantly FUN (first
annual) Space Derby! Dave Frederick Asst. Den Leader (Bears) Hawk Mountain Council Pack 163 Shoemakersville, PA |
| We are considering running a first time Space Derby for our pack this
year. I just wanted to thank you for providing so much information. Your
plans and information on the models will greatly assist us in figuring this
thing out. Thanks for taking the time to help us all out.

| Thanks for your reply. We finally completed and set up the track this
weekend, and everything worked out fine. We appreciate you help by posting the
directions/photos as we would have been grasping at straws based on the guide
in the scout book. Thanks again. Brian A. Faith, AIA |

Hello, I'm Mike O'Neill from Pack 890 in Springfield, Va. I have just finished building the Space Derby track from the plans on your website. Thank you for taking the time to draw these plans up and making them available. Our pack is having our first Space Derby this year and I searched the net thoroughly before selecting your plans. They were the best design and the most comprehensive plans.
