For our former customers:  Many of you have been asking us if anyone else is available to run your race.  The answer is YES. 

Warren Kalsow (a.k.a. Mr. Slick) will run races in the Twin Cities area.  His website is www.PwdRacing.com.  You can contact him via email:  Warren.P.Kalsow@HealthPartners.com or by phone: 612-801-7827 (c) 

or  952-431-3308 (h).

In addition, our hope is that whoever buys our track, also has a vision and the resources to help other packs in the area.  Keep checking back for updates on the sale of the track.  For those of you who have been asking about the Equipment Inventory List, click on the link to view the complete list.

We knew it had to come eventually, we just weren't sure when.  Effective September 5, 2007 A Bunch of Old Guys and a Track will no longer be running derbies.

When we first began to organize our group seven years ago, we started with seven founding members.  As of sometime later this year, that number will be down to two.  Although we have added other members during the years, the remaining founding members believe we would be unable to continue to offer the level of service we demanded of ourselves and the remaining members also needed to move on to other pursuits, including additional family time.

The group was formed because the guys enjoyed working with each other, wanted to be of service to Cub Scouting, and wanted the challenge of creating a special Pinewood Derby experience.  We accomplished what we set out to do and had a lot of fun along the way.

We wanted to notify Packs as soon as possible so they can make alternate arrangements for this upcoming season. We have appreciated the chance to have some fun helping out with arguably the highlight of of the Scouting calendar for many Cub Scout packs.

If your group is interested, most of the assets of our group will be for sale including our trailer, the track, storage crates, finish gates, decorations, (2) laptop computers, and other equipment.  Contact us if you are interested at our email address: racemaster@abunchofoldguysandatrack.com.
