For years I have used a system to label Pinewood Derby cars that works very well.
I use colored circular spot labels made by Avery. Each age group is assigned a different color. I prenumber the labels, using a different range for each age group. (Typically I have less than a hundred cars in each group, but if you are going to have more than a hundred cars in a group, use 1000-1999, 2000-2999 etc..) RangerKids 100-199 Yellow Discovery 200-299 Blue Adventure 300-399 Purple Expedition Ranger 400-499 Green At registration, there is a column on the registration form for the car number. As cars are registered, I write the number from the sticker. Typically there is a group of numbers for each age group for an outpost, so I cut out the whole group of stickers together and give them to the senior commander. (When the next outpost registers, I look at the sticker sheets to tell which numbers come next. This prevents the duplicate use of numbers.) After all the cars have been assigned on the registration sheet for a single outpost, I make a copy of the registration sheet and give it to the senior commander with the instructions to place the sticker on the rear bumper of each car. (This helps the starting line judge to properly position the car.) The sheet shows which number goes with each car. This system works well with computer timing systems too, because each car requires a number assignment. This info and much, much more about Pinewood derbys and Rangers can be found on my NEW website. www.RangerDJ.com RangerDJ -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Jim Hufferd Sent: Saturday, March 05, 2005 11:23 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [RR] Derby Label HELP I am trying to set up the format for our Derby Labels, but have ran out of options. I tried my new print shop program, but it will not number the labels consecutively. My old one does not work well with XP and a label Wizard program I have also does not run well on XP. I also tried MS Word, but no luck with it in the format we need. ANYONE HAVE ANY ANSWERS?? Jim Hufferd _______________________________________________ Jesus Christ is LORD!
