Welcome to the 2007 Cub Scout Pack 909 Pinewood Derby!

A new 42 foot track, new software, new timer gate, new rules and a record number of rookies on the field!   What is this a recipe for?   An exciting race!!!  

The boys were pumped up, the parents were on edge, the cars were fast, and the pizza hot!!!   Thirty-nine cars were lined up to race this year, which made for 39 heats in the qualifying round.   A new pack speed record was set and recorded early on and then was beat, and then beaten again, until a veteran racer finally took it and held it.   A few wrecks on the track and maybe one or two crew chief protests later, and we got our final twelve for the shoot out!

The track score keeper compared his tally with the computer, and the judges all agreed.  There they were--the twelve fastest of the field, three of which were rookies to the race…  In twelve heats we would have our top six.    Or would we?  

We got our top six placers, but it would not stop there.   In the end, it came down to two veteran racers that had been going at it all night.   A tie for first place, all the way down to a thousand of a second!  Our Pack Record holder and one other veteran that wanted it bad.  They would have to shoot it out in a good old-fashion drag race.   Nothing but gravity, graphite lubed wheels and a good bit of luck would give us the winner that takes the 2007 edition of the Cub Scout Pack 909 Pinewood Derby.
