I'm organizing an attempt at the Guinness record for the Longest Pinewood Derby track for the Waterbury Cub Scouts, Pack 711. The current record is 320 feet, held by the Boston Scouting Council. We're shooting for 600 feet. The plan is to run the track down the sledding hill behind Crossett Brook Middle School and onto/across the back soccer field. There will be an Open class for parents and other non-Scouts that are interested in running a car down the track. Everyone is invited!
Fundraising is the first step and we're asking folks to sponsor a track segment at $60 each. Businesses that sponsor 3 or more segments can hang a banner on the track if they wish. These are 8' sections, so it could be up to a 3'x20' banner. I'm hoping to get good coverage by the local media of the event and am expecting ~200 scouting families to show up, plus anybody else that might be interested.
