Cub Scout Pack 353

PINEWOOD DERBY RESULTS

After some technicial difficulties, we were finally able to run the races.  The following are the combined results for Scouts, the Siblings, and the Outlaws.  I have removed the last names since these are posted on the internet.  Please let me know if you'd like the data with complete information. Please note, the Siblings and Outlaw divisions ran one less heat than the scouts, which means that their times are not directly comparable unless you take an average.  As for the scouts, the top seven racers were all within 5 one-hundredth's of a second away from each other.  Remember that these times are the total of all four heats run by the scouts, so that means that on average, these racers were within one one-hundredth of a second. That's about the same amount of time for a bee to flap its winds two times.  Click the "read more" to view the results:

**Special Note on Huntsville. We called Huntsville state park on Jan. 27 for an update on facility repairs that are going on due to bad weather they experienced earlier this week. Where Pack 353 will be staying, it is currently under construction. However, they are confident that everything will be ready for us before we get there. IF NOT, there will be other facilities near by where we can access showers and restrooms.
