[Image]Pack 61 held their 2007 Pinewood Derby at Southwest Hills Community Church. The derby is one of the best events of Cub Scouting ... the boys and the parents really get into it.
This year, Sean's Cheesecake car won an award for Most Original design. This is kind of funny because last year Brian won the same award for an ice cream sundae car.
Brian's car was a Mario Kart car with a neat Model Magic character he sculpted, but alas it was more than the required 5 ounces. We tried to put Mario on a diet, but he just couldn't lose enough weight by race time, so the car ran riderless. It was a good effort none-the-less.
[Image]The year also marked the debut of a new aluminum track and computer timer finish line. The track was very fast and quite nice to look at. Putting it together for the first time proved to be quite an experience.
We had one computer glitch that stalled us for a bit at the beginning, but we ended up racing more than 60 cars in four lanes in about an hour.
