Pinewood Derby

A block of pine, four sets of plastic wheels and axles, and some additional weight will get your competitive juices flowing.  Cub Scouts, with the assistance of their parents (sometimes vice-versa) design and build their cars to meet the exact specs of the official rules and regulations of the Pinewood Derby  -- the Grand Prix of Cub Scouts.  To win, Cub Scouts must design a car that takes full advantage of gravity -- the driving force engine -- while taming the resistance of friction.  Who will be first to the finish, represent our Pack at Makahiki, and race for a chance at being the fastest car on the island?
