Cub Scout Pack 1446 is sponsored by the Monongahela United Methodist Church, and the race was held in the church activity room. The Pinewood Derby event has been an annual activity for Cub Scouts for quite a long time. Kids start out with a kit consisting of a block of wood, axles, and wheels and then let creativity take over to finish with the fastest and best-looking car. Weights of the gravity-powered cars are adjusted at a weigh-in prior to the race so they all weigh the same.
The track was state-of-the-art with an all-electronic finishing line. This is a necessity, as some of the 300 or so races run were too close to call by eye. In fact several were ties and had to be re-run. The
