I think I overdid PwD the past couple weeks. On top of the 4 new cars for the March race, this past weekend I helped build another scout car for a dad/webelo2 who wanted something competitive to finish out their cub scout years.
Pack race was Friday. My scouts took 1st and 2nd by a good margin, but there was other drama that distracted me from really being focused on the race. First, my wheels were challenged (ultimately allowed), then there was some sibling rivalry drama, then the dfw came off the Lion's car. I didn't bring my pliers so I tuned the best I could with my fingers, pushing it on the ground to check steer, while everyone watched and waited.
There must have been a problem with the track seams, cause the dfw on both cars were nicked up really bad ... And I didn't have a lot of steer. So I had to swap those out for the district race this Friday. Its a shame cause the Lion's car was really flying and I'm not sure I'll be able to dial it as good.

Well you guys have done well and certainly should be proud of what you have done so far. No matter where you place at the up coming race, you know that you've done your best

Well, if you get over to either the Chief Black Dog District or Prairie Lakes District races on Saturday, I can pretty much guarantee you a smooth running track! Now is when I have to start to worry about the races. . . districts and then council! PwdRacing is doing 8 different district races this year.

PwdRacing is doing 8 different district races this year. WOW that's awesome! I've always thought of you as the hardest working person in PWD, and I see you haven't changed a bit. Thanks for all you do, Warren!

This last weekend consisted of three races.
Friday night we had 101 Girl Scouts racing. Saturday was Chief Black Dog District and Prairie Lakes District races. Sunday was a special workshop for the El Sol District. They built around 75 cars!
Next weekend is an easy one. Saturday we will have two tables at the University of Scouting(FKA Pow-wow). One for the Council Activities and one for the demonstration of the new weights from Revel and the BSA that I introduced. Sunday will be the El Sol District race. I wish I knew Spanish so I could understand the announcer.
Meanwhile we will be having workshops every night this week 5pm-8:30pm.

And I thought I had my plate full with running 2 cub scout pack races and a girl scout service unit race. I don't know how you do it!

Lots of help and lots of practice!
We are working on some "stats" for the season so far.
