I built my first Pinewood Derby car in Cub Scouts this year!  We raced them on Saturday, March 24th, 2001. Check the pictures below to see how I did!

3/2001 - The Beginning...

My kit, my shirts, and lots to do... 

3/17/2001 - "The Submaronic Blaster"!

I designed it, Dad helped cut it out.  It kinda looks like a submarine in the front and a car in the back.

The holes in the tail are for weight.  I like the flames!
