give a creative person a pocket knife...

And they'll carve you a sweet ride. Introducing the Pinewood Derby contest for creative people. A fun creative exploration that lets agency people explore a medium they're not accustomed to working with day in and day out: a block of pine.

This is just such a fab idea, I'd love to implement it at our agency. Or even extend to other agencies in the market. Creative 'field trips' are good for the brain, and a whole lot of fun. Let's get pocket knives, some beer, and some wood! From Coudal.

We did this a couple of years ago in our creative dept and it was amazing. The trash talking leading up to the event was as good as the night itself.

www.pinecar.com is a good place to start. then find a boy scout troop that will rent you their track. trust me they need the $.

Holy Crap, Darryl. Awesome find. I wish we had more time and I'd try and put something like this together for when you swing by on the tour.

Cub scouts... Le sigh...
