   Three Grand Island Cub Scout Packs got together, courtesy of St. Stephen School, for the first Grand Island Pinewood Derby Run-off on Saturday, January 10, 2004.
   Each Pack (Pack 510 meets at Huth Road School, Pack 254/Kaegebein School and Pack 630/St. Stephen School) held its own pinewood derby in the school cafeteria. To begin with, each cub scout receives a block of wood, four tires and nails for axles and has a month to transform these materials into a racer. Each year the cub scouts amaze the leaders and parents with their creativity. This year's cars included a hummer, complete with "army guys" inside, a snow covered mountain complete with snowboarders coming "down the mountain," and an inch worm carved out of the block. The race takes place on a 26-foot track with timing to 1/1000th of a second.
   The official winners for Grand Island this year are:

First Place      Car 9   -  Nicholas Paolini  - a Tiger from Pack 510
Second Place Car 47      -  Sam Oursler       - a First year Webelos  from Pack 510
Third Place    Car 28    -  Christopher Boulden - second year Webelos from Pack 254
 
Rounding out the Top racers are
Fastest Wolf    Car 17       -  David Mongan     Pack 510 tied with
                Car 413    - Jadon Wegrzyn    Pack 630 to 1/1000th of a second on 4 races
 
Fastest Bear    Car 55        - Zachary Re       Pack 630

Fun was had by all and John Siegel and his Race Committee wish to congratulate all the Cub Scouts for all the hard work they put into their creations. "We expect even more fun next year when Pack 425 (meets at St. Martin's Church) joins in the fun."
