Grand Nationals: April 23, 2012

Watch the Grand Nationals by division!

The Grand National Pine Car Derby is one of the most exciting national events Master Clubs has each year. Each Club church has the opportunity to enter their twelve fastest cars in this National competition which is held at the First Baptist Church in Milford, Ohio. This year the date of the Grand National is Monday, April 23rd. We expect hundreds of pine cars to be entered in this year’s Grand National Pine Car Derby. This event will be a treat for your whole family. Due to the live broadcast, we will start the race at 7 PM Eastern Time to allow competitors on the west coast to watch after school.

Attention Pine Car Derby Fans:

We are excited to announce that, based upon the requests of many of our customers, Master Ministries will begin using the nail axles in our pine car kits beginning on June 15, 2012 rather than the solid, one-piece axle.  This will eliminate the difficulties with the solid axle and hubcaps. Consequently, for the 2013 Grand National Pine Car Derby, we will only allow the nail axles instead of the straight axle. For your convenience, we will continue to sell the solid axles through August 1, 2012. But beginning August 1, 2012, we will only stock the new nail axles. We will additionally be carrying a new “wedge” cut block of wood and car weights.
