	Our pack has traditionally held a Pinewood Derby each spring and
is looking to try a Space Derby.  I contacted our local DE to see if
he knew of any other packs that may have experience in running one.  He
was not aware of anyone.

	I would appreciate help and direction in any of the following
areas (and others if you think it important):

	* how to construct the track
		- I had been told that the runs can be as long
		  as 50-75 feet ... apparently, these spacecrafts
		  really fly!

	* how to start them off
		- I recall reading that a starting block can be made
		  out of wood that would lock the propellors until all
		  spacecrafts are ready to be released

	* material to use a runners
		- I had been told that monofilament fishing line works well

	* how to determine winner (is electronic necessary?)
		- again, I had been told that close finishes over a long
		  run are not likely; however, placement may be important
		  for subsequent rounds

	* your choice of advice
		- I'm open to ideas!


	Thanks, Scott Brunton (scottb@col.hp.com)
