Sibling winner - Isobel Sweet |
By Tony Sweet
It was a morning of fun competition as the local scouts
participated in their Pinewood Derby, a racing event for unpowered, unmanned miniature cars. Registration
and pit row opened at 11 am and saw close to 50 racers check in and get their
cars inspected.
Pinewood derby has a strict set of rules that govern how
long, wide, tall and how much a car can weigh; if it doesn’t pass, it doesn’t
race. Some participants built cars for show while others built some for
competition and speed.
Liam Wade took first place for the scouts, Isobel Sweet took
first for siblings and Anthony Hinse took first for parents.
The Webelos Den sold concessions to help fund the annual
crossover camp in the spring. Participants and observers dined on hotdogs,
pizza and baked goods.
Pinewood Derby can be a very competitive sport but all the participants
showed great sportsmanship.
