This event engaged over 20 young cub scouts in the process of creating a raceable car from a small block of pinewood. Through the course of a month, the scouts worked independently to design, cut out, sand, paint and place wheels on a car that would eventually race against fellow scouts during Pinewood Derby Day. In addition to the overall winners, awards were given to participants based on their car design, paint job, wackiest design and uniqueness. Race Winners:
• First place Cross Kalp
• Second place Alex Dodge
• Third place Clarke Fusco Design Award Winners:
• Steven Howard
• Clarke Fusco
• Luke Traina
• Colton McGraw
All of the participants were fantastic competitors and should be complimented on their sportsmanship. A special thank you goes out to all of the parents and leaders who volunteered their time and efforts to hold this special event.
