Pack 282's Pinewood Derby Car Races

After last year's epic failure, this year Jacob's pinewood car couldn't go anywhere but up.

Indeed his car was grand. Jacob won two races out of three heats against some formidable Wolf cars.

We can't win them all, so next year, Jacob is looking to break the 200 mph barrier.

And a super job to Den 10, winning a first and fifth place within the Wolf pack and two additional trophies.

Way to go Jacob! Way to go Den 10!
