About Us
From Randy & Elisa Davis, Owners of Maximum Velocity!
Several years ago, our children began participating in the pine derby at our church. Although we had fun, our initial results were not particularly noteworthy. But we noticed that there were a few families that consistently entered very fast cars. So, having an engineering background, Randy began studying pine derby techniques.
Then, in 1997 Randy was given the opportunity to serve as the Derby Master for our derby. In a desire to improve the competition by making the basic techniques known to all the entrants, he wrote the booklet "Maximum Velocity! - Speed to the Finish". Since that time, the booklet has been through nine major revisions, and is now in its tenth edition.
In 1999, several people suggested that the booklet should be made available on a broader scale. As we were inclined towards starting a business, we launched the Maximum Velocity! web site in October of that year.
Since then we have developed seven additional booklets. "Car Plans" and "Advanced Car Plans" were introduced in 2000, "Car Plans 2" and "Unique Car Plans" were introduced in 2001, "Wedge Car Plans" and "Advanced Car Plans 2" were introduced in 2002, "Car Plans 3" was introduced in 2003, and "Car Plans 4 in 2005". We have also introduced many specialty tools and supplies each year. God willing, we will continue to offer new products each year in the future.
Our desire is that by using these booklets and supplies, not only will you create a competitive car, but that you and your parent (or adult mentor) will more thoroughly enjoy the car building process. Winning a trophy is great, but the real point of the pine derby is building and racing a car with someone you care about.
Best wishes in your derby race, and may God bless you and your family.
Randy, his wife Elisa, and their four children live in Peoria, Arizona.
