The story of the Pinewood Derby starts with Don Murphy, Cub Master for Pack 280C in 1952. Don Murphy wanted to create a new father-son Cub Scout activity he could do with his 10 year old son who was too young to race in the Soap Box Derby, which requires the boy to drive a home made car down a hill.
Fast forward 59 years and place the same event at Nativity Elementary School in Fargo, ND - the same father-son extravaganza, but ramped up to one exciting evening event of racing!
