GCC Pack 242 Pinewood Derby Cars
Posted: Sun Mar 03, 2013 9:24 pm
Pack 242 had our Pinewood Derby this weekend (March 2, 2013) as part of our spring campout at Pioneer Arizona Living History Museum in far north Phoenix.
Miracles were performed. Reputations were made. Excellent food was shared. Coyotes serenaded us. Strange things were seen. There were cool cars. There were fast cars. There were cool and fast cars. There were a bunch of really great cars built by Cub Scouts, siblings, parents, and adults.
And in the Pack championship race, an inexplicable twist of fate sent the defending champion's car* spinning off the track and the main trophy passing on to a eager new Tiger Cub. (the only time such a thing happened all day)
And as part of the race prep, we took photos of every single car for informational & documentary purposes in a "photo box" we created for that purpose (total investment: about 50 cents). We've assembled & posted those photos at:

Take a look and let me know what you think.
