Pinewood Participants Post Proud Performance

The hall was packed. The crowd was hushed. The children leaned forward in their chairs as den leader Allen Grome announced the start of the race. "Three, two, one, go!" And the first four cars screamed down the track. Framingham Pack 78's 2007 Pinewood Derby was under way.

Forty-seven gloriously-decorated and lovingly-built cars raced neck-and-neck at the annual Pinewood Derby Saturday afternoon, March 3. Entries included a skateboard, a fire truck, a dragon, a number of blazingly fast sports cars, and other innovative and creative cars. Lego® drivers guided their cars to many a close finish.

Here are the results of the proud Pinewood participants.
