Renfrow Raceway is a family run business delivering Pinewood Derby track time and race services to groups such as Cub Scouts, Girl Scouts, AWANA Clubs, Royal Rangers, corporate team building events, family reunions, etc. We use the popular Grand Prix Race Manager™ software and measure race times to the millisecond. We have participated in over a hundred events over the last several years and we lo
ve to watch the look on the kids' faces when their cars are racing down the track. While we primarily work in and around, Long Beach and Biloxi area we are able to take our show on the road to anywhere within a couple of hours of the Long Beach MS/ Biloxi MS area. So, if you need a track for your 1st or 50th derby, get in touch and we can help. No derby is too small, and we haven't seen a group large enough to scare us away.
