Things which might go wrong.

It seems that Murphy's law applies here:
	If anything can go wrong, it will
as well as the corallary:
	Murphy was an optimist

The computer and electronics in some sense make the whole pinewood derby night a bit more fragile as well as less flexible. What you get is a shorter race night and nobody has to eyeball winners. However, this page attempts to describe some things which might go wrong, and how to fix them, or work around the problem.

Much of pulling out of bad situations will require a bit of quick creative thinking, as well as arbritrary decisions of the race chairman to decide what's to be done.
