The Thunderbird District Pinewood Derby is held at InfoAge. AN OUTSTANDING SUCCESS!! The 2007 Pinewood Derby was an outstanding success. A multitude of guests, derby racers and perfect spring weather combined for a very special event. The scouts were ready, the cars were ready, the new track was set up in the Marconi Hotel Dining room.   Mrs. Andrea Lane, Mr. John Kosinski, and Thunderbird District Executive John Kildruff has made all the arrangements for the big event. Dads and grandfathers had passed all their closely guarded tricks to build a car with the exact weight and the most minimal air drag.   The moment of truth was here. The contestants lined up on the Marconi Hotel piazza to enter the dining room to register their car and for the judges to check their entry for correct weight. A new four lane track was set up with an electronic timer to eliminate human error at the finish line.  The collection of trophies was setup awaiting the determination of the winners and which scout would take one home. InfoAge was pleased to host the Pinewood Derby at Camp Evans. Please enjoy our photo coverage of this happy event through the pictures that follow. WINNERS Tigers (1st grade) - Evan Fitzpatrick, Pack 21 Spring Lake Wolf (2nd grade) - Bryan DeMott, Pack 333 Wall Twp. Bear (3rd grade) - Matthew DeHope, Pack 194 Wall Twp. Webelos (4th and 5th grade) - Spencer Kurten, Pack 55 Sea Girt
