Greetings! My name is Scott (which apparently is a very common name in the pinewood community) and I live in SE Wisconsin. I'm a Research and Development Chemist at an aerosol paint company.
I got involved in derby racing when Zeebzob absolutely destroyed the competition at a local race in 2009. I had been interested in racing for a year or so, but had decided that proxy racing wasn't for me. I built a car for the local race (a 3 wheel straight runner), using the best tools and knowledge available to me...and came in 19th out of 57
After speaking with Zeebzob, it sounded like proxy racing was going to be the only way to get faster and be able to race on a regular basis...so I bought a few tools and sent in a car. If memory serves, I just barely beat Zeebzob by 0.001 seconds ;D. After investing in a track, some new tools and lubes...I'm happy to say I'm still mid-pack...but on the 'national' level 
This year, I used my newfound pinewood knowledge to assist 3 coworkers in building first place cars for their pack races...a trend which I hope continues
