2011 Pinewood Derby Car Races

This year's races were held on March 9, 2011 with the event kicking off at about 630pm.  The evening started with cub scouts and families chowing down on pizza, assorted snacks and drinks.

After a few announcements by Silverado Council staff, we were ready for racing by 700pm after the voting for Best Looking Car was closed.  This year there were 15 cars entered in the Pack 380 Pinewood Derby Car races.
