BSA Derby Track across America
GOOD ONE !!!!
It's Great to see they are getting it started on April 1st. My team has got ours started. It will be a "Hershey Bar" type design. We are using 2" x 4' x 14' planks.
We wish everyone who is attempting this the Very, Very Best.

I do think that if they made it less far fetched, it would have been a better April Fools joke.
