Congrats to Hal for his third place finish. Thats a great looking car. My son Landry is 9 and we just finished his Pinewood Derby season. Looking forward to next year.
Congrats to all of the cubs and parents who participated. This is a fantastic "life lesson" event!
The Pinewood Derby was one of the highpoints of my scouting experience...both as a scout and the parent of a scout.
So much so that I needed to give back, for what I received from that experience…As a result...I wrote and just released a book about the Derby called "Pinewood-Winning by the Rules" ISBN 978-1-60911-153-3. It shows that the “BIG race” can be won by sticking to the rules…Isn’t that what scouting is all about?
My son was district champ for 3 years in a row and he did that by following every rule and doing his best. It is available on Amazon, Barnes and Noble or Borders websites…also through my website www.PinnacleCarRacing.com
