Scouts’ Pinewood Derby rolls down Bay Street
ig cars for big kids, sometimes
known as adults, aren’t the
only attraction in historic Old
Town Florence during the 10th annual
Rods ’n’ Rhodies Invitational Car Show
this weekend — smaller cars for smaller
kids can also be observed racing down
the track at the sixth annual Pinewood
Derby, produced by Boy Scout Troop
721 of Florence, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Saturday, Sept. 8.
Everyone is welcome to participate,
not just scouts, so get your old Pine-
wood Derby cars out of moth balls, or
create a new car by acquiring an unfi n-
ished kit by calling 541-997-7404.
All ages are welcome.
Registration is $5 and the funds help
Troop 721 buy new scouting equipment
and pay Scout Camp fees.
Come on out and support Troop 721;
revisit your youth; live out your child-
hood dreams; race your heart out: but be
aware — you’re likely to have a lot of fun!

Boy Scout of America Troop 721 hosts its sixth annual Pinewood Derby in
Historic Old Town Florence on Saturday, Sept. 8, during Rods ’n’ Rhodies.
Registration is from 10 to 11 a.m., with
the fi rst race at 11:30 a.m. Th e sponsor
race will be at 1 p.m.
Pinewood Derby, a racing event for the
Boy Scouts of America, began in 1953
when the creator’s son was too young to
participate in the traditional and popular
soap box derby races of that time. Th e
miniature version was based on the same
concept as the full sized version: a parent
helping their child construct a vehicle
under certain criteria, competing on a
track where gravity provided the power.
In 1954, Boy Scouts of America fully
endorsed the program by publicizing
the event in Boys Life magazine, off ering
plans for both car and track.
Each person builds a vehicle from a
block of pine wood (hence the name),
four wheels and four nails for axles.
Creativity and innovation can be applied
in an attempt to decrease the drag and
increase the speed of the car, just as done
in big kids’ race cars.
Pinewood Derby has been recognized
by Hollywood in movies titled “Pine-
wood Derby” and “Down and Derby,”
and even on a “South Park” television
episode.
But you don’t need to go to the movies
to see the real deal — just wander down
to the corner of Bay and Nopal streets in
historic Old Town Florence and catch the
action on the track.
