Pinewood Derby trophies

[baden]

Here is an idea for the group. Last week a casual acquaintance of mine called me and asked if I was still involved in Scouting. I said yes and he asked me if I wanted some car racing trophies for the PWD. He is an avid stock car racer at the local track and wanted to clean out some old trophies. I went over and picked them up and delivered them to the Cubmaster. About 30 trophies some of them about 3 feet tall. Our CM is delighted and is going to remove the engraved plaques and replace them. The local Pack spent about $75.00 on trophies last year and figure the donated lot will run them for approx. 5-6 yrs. Also the trophies are much larger than anything the Pack has had before and should knock the boys socks off. You might ask around and see if anyone in your area knows someone in the same boat as our local racer. The CM said he was going to ask this guy to be the "Head Official" at the PWD coming up in March.

Thanks for the idea. There are a couple of "dirt tracks" in the area, and my wife knew a few of the more skilled racing families. I think a couple of phone calls are in order...
