From District Pinewood Derby Chair Bill Buchalter:

Pack Leaders,
Pinewood Derby Season is upon us and it’s time to schedule your races. If you’re receiving this email it is because I have your name as the contact for your Cub Scout Pack, and you used the District derby track last year. If you are no longer the leader of your pack please forward this message to your new leader and copy me on the message. If you no longer need to use the District track please let me know and I’ll remove you from this list.
There are a few dates already reserved, so please keep this in mind as you schedule:
  • Saturday Feb 24th – Pack 830
  • Wednesday Feb 28th – Pack 179
  • Monday March 5th – Pack 35
Details about the District Race in March will be coming soon. Please let me know as soon as possible to reserve your date for your race. If you have any questions please let me know.
