Historical Stuff: The 2004 Pinewood Derby was held in the Life Activities Center of Brookhill United Methodist Church on Saturday, January 31st, 2004. The race started at 8:30 A.M., with the Tiger Cubs Racing first. We had substantial trouble with the software to manage the race; Jeff Schaeberle did a great job of working around the bugs to get us good results. Pat O'Brien was in charge of the Derby Committee, and did a fantastic job.
