On the second of February, 2008
my son's Cub Scout pack had its annual Pinewood Derby.
I know they say Spitfires are small, and here is the proof. I
managed to get mine on the race track. We needed to test the
electronics on the track, so I pulled my Spitfire out and let it
be used as a test racer. It did OK. That real curvy car next to
it won every time, not that I am upset, that was one of ours
also. When it came to the actual race Taylor's wedge car took
1st place for his rank. Oddly enough the 3rd place car was a
last minute request by a parent. It was nearly identical to
Taylor’s car. The purple car took 3rd place for both the Webelos
rank and in the Pack. I was happy to have some winners up
there. This was our last year of Pinewood. I guess I will have
to start racing my Spitfire elsewhere. Taylor crossed over to
Boy Scout on the 23rd of February.
