The Pack 108 Pinewood Derby was held on
Friday night, March 14, 2008 at the Clear Lake Elementary School Gym.
After a pre-race pizza dinner in the cafeteria, the race fans
were invited to view the pinewood race car entries in the pits.
Racing began shortly before 7:00 PM and ran until about 8:45 PM with the
field consisting of 55 cars total in the Tiger, Wolf, Bear, Webelos,
Sibling, and Parents divisions. There were a lot of close and
exciting race heats on the new Pack 108 Pinewood Derby Track. Between the race heats, prizes donated by local
area contributors were raffled off to the kids. Many award certificates were
also given out in numerous design categories.
When the race heats finally ended, the winners
in the Tiger, Wolf, Bear, Webelos, and Siblings divisions were announced.
Trophies and Pack 108 Pinewood Derby T-Shirts were awarded to the top 3
positions in each Cub Scout division, and medals were awarded for the top
3 positions in the Siblings division. The top 3 cars in each Cub
Scout division qualified to be sponsored by Pack 108 in the Pontiac-Manito
District Pinewood Derby Race at the Oakland Yards Main Dome on Saturday,
April 19, 2008.
We would like to give our thanks to the
Pinewood Derby Race committee, the Pit Crew, and all of those who helped
set up, run, and clean up after the derby. The Pinewood Derby Race
committee was chaired by Kevin Gilbert. A special thanks goes out to
Kevin Gilbert for holding the pre-race Pinewood Derby Workshop and Garth
Schultz who held the Weigh-In at his house. Race night and award
photos were taken by Ann Erickson and Craig Wright. Again, thanks
to all who worked so hard to make this a super Pinewood Derby for all.
