Pinewood Derby

Sam just joined Boy Scouts recently, and the first big event he participated in was the Pinewood Derby. The boys (and families) construct a wooden car with specific material and weight specifications. The cars are set off in random heats on a sophisticated track system, timed by computer. The Pinewood Derby has quite a history, and the races were exciting. Sam's car won a few heats, it was a great way to start off his Boy Scouts experience.
