My son, a new Cub Scout, has told me that he wants to participate in a
Cub Scout wooden model car race.

I'm sure a Dags on "pinewood derby" will pull up quite a bit of info. I was
one of the ones (many moons ago) that sort of made my own (well dad cut the
body on the bandsaw) - but I did the rest.

Sadly, I think I was probably the only one - and my position in the finals
were evidently testimony, probably, not to the "skills" of the other young
builders, but, rather, their fathers as I didn't do research on lubricants
and other such things.
