Scouts break in new pinewood derby track

The Fallon Cub Scout Pack 38 got to break in a state-of-the-art pinewood derby track at its annual pinewood derby on Jan. 27 at the Epworth Methodist Church Wolf Center.

The new aluminum track was donated by the Lions Club, which contributed $2,412 for its purchase.

Pack 38 said it’s already planning another race for all ages this summer. The “outlaw” event will feature fewer rules and restrictions.
