Hey, I did the Pinewood Derby as a Cub Scout. I still have a picture of me at about ten years, in
a space helmet the Pack made out of old oversize commercial detergent tubs with a eye slot
and shoulder notches cut in them and antennae added, made out of coat hangers. I don't think
I ever advanced beyond Bobcat, low on the totem, but I had lots of fun anyway. What a whale of
a trophy your grandson has won. That's a nifty low-slung car he made. Congratulations to him.
Part of the pledge was, "...to be square and obey the law of the Pack." For some reason, that phrase
has stuck with me.

Crazy. A friend and I were JUST talking about pinewood derbies.
Congratulations to you and your grandson Brad.

Nice. Congrats to the little guy. My nephew ran his first derby today and I'm waiting to see how it turned out.
When I try to describe to newbies what an unfinished pipe looks like, since I highly recommend
them from time to time, I always compare unfinished briar to a Pinewood Derby car. Of course,
the briar isn't quite that bright a white, but if you have been looking at stained, finished briar,
an unfinished briar looks almost that naked white.

Congrats on the trophy & ribbon :clap:
When I was his age, my car didn't place...and it was the same color :lol:
