Join us on Saturday May 4th for the 2nd annual Adult Pinewood Derby happening at the Railyard in Little Rock. We are looking for companies to come on as sponsors and then have their employees build cars and race against each other. This will be a fun team-building experience for banks, retail stores, insurance companies, realtors, law offices… Special awards for not only all racers but ones within the same company will be handed out. This is going to be a lot of fun and very unique. What adult doesn’t want to build their own car and earn bragging rights around the office as the first-place winner?

Every registration includes a free beer or non alcoholic beverage. Join us as an individual racer or as a corporate sponsor by visiting 2024 Adult Pinewood Derby | Natural State Council
