Chevrolet v. Dodge: Pinewood Derby Style

We enjoy all forms of racing, but we have a special fondness for the Pinewood Derby. Actually, we absolutely love it. This past weekend we were able to get in on the action and race our Pinewood Derby car against Douglas Dodge. The competition was tough...we ended up finishing in second place...but it was an exciting race! Thank you to the Cub Scouts for allowing us to participate in this year's race and congratulations to Douglas Dodge. Rematch soon?

Owner, Scott B., with local Cub Scout members and Douglas Dodge General Manager, Tony D.
