Our Awana club only does the Grand Prix each year, but we are experimenting with Awana running year round, so now are talking about adding a space derby in the summer.

We've run an annual Shape N Race Derby for decades.

One year, the Pioneer Girls ran a Sailboat Race. It was a mixed success, and the concensus was that everyone liked the Shape N Race Derby better.

Our Pack runs their Pinewood Derby in late January - early February. We have our Raingutter Regatta in October and it was again a great sucess! Need to post pics).

There are again discussions about adding a third derby. We have two fathers who ran space derby as Cub Scouts and said that ther were many problems that we would have to overcome in running the race. This along with when we could run a race is pushing us towards a Cubmobile/Push Cart race. We'll see...
