Trophies for the podium + bragging rights
Grown-ups. Gravity. A wooden car you carved yourself. The First Annual Pintwood Derby drops at Rhinegeist Taproom in Over-the-Rhine. Grab a pint, drop your car on the track, and find out whose engineering degree was actually worth it. Every entry benefits Stett 4 Kids, a local charity helping kids with school clothes, field trips, supplies, and Christmas wishes.
