We just finished the Northern Star Council Pinewood Derby Championship at the Mall of America this weekend and now we get to "slack off" first time since December!
We set up the night before after MOA store closed startign at 9pm. We had the track set-up, polished, leveled, straightened, and wired by 11:00pm. Left the loading area by 11:30pm. Video and sound connections were made at 7:30am on Saturday.
There were almost 250 racers! We scheduled them in 90 minute groupings. Check-in for the Lions and Tigers started at 8:30am and the final rank, Webelos II, started racing at 4pm.

You guys did an unbelievable job. It was really neat to be a part of it all and to meet some of the guys I see here on the boards in person. Thanks again for all that you guys do for scouting!!!!

A rest well deserved Warren…
This year’s council derby was a lot of fun! BIG thanks goes out to Warren and crew for all the hard work you guys put in to making this an A+ event. I really liked the announcer this year, she did a great job. The trophies with the hotrod flames were the coolest ever. And the teddy bears with cub scout uniforms given to the 1st place Lion and Tiger was a nice touch. But most of all, I really enjoyed chatting with 3 Wheel Racing, T&T Racing, Graviton Racing, BigDaddy Racing and several others . . . you guys really made it a lot of fun. And then to watch how well your boys did, I mean these were the fastest pinewood derby cars—ever—at NSC, they were so fast! And just the love you dads have for your boys, helping them and teaching them how to build these cars, is something that is pretty cool, I think.

Well, it's been a week of vacation (only one night and two afternoons of pinewood derby) and I had better get back to work. We got the keys for the new room. It has a long room that is long enough for the tracks!
