Council Derby a Show of Strang - th
The 2008 Katahdin Area Council Pinewood Derby season came to a close last month, and when the dust settled it was the Penobscot Valley Champion Kyle Strang of Pack 44 who came across the finish line first in a hotly contested final.

Over 2,000 cars pinewood derby cars started down tracks all over Eastern and Northern Maine. Each one told a story of a boy and an adult partner working together to turn a small hunk of pine into a precision crafted, highly tuned racing machine with style to spare. Each one took their turn hurtling toward the finish line, and each one will be treasured for years to come.

In races decided by hundredths of a second, 80 Cub packs determined their champions.

Those champions met in district races held on April 19th at the Airport Mall in Bangor. Cameron Nault of Pack 81 took the top prize in Hancock District. Brenton Spangers of Pack 126 scored the fastest time in Washington. Kyle Strang of Pack 44 was the pace-setter in Penobscot Valley. The top prize in Penquis went to Pack 65's Cody Shaw. Ryan Kord of Pack 234 was the quickest car in Waldo. Kamrain Hussain won the North Star Race held on March 1st at the Aroostook Centre Mall in Presque Isle. In all 184 racers from 62 packs raced at the Airport Mall Scout Show, while 52 racers from 14 packs raced in Presque Isle. Jeremy Caron of Pack 179 took the place of North Star winner Hussain, who was unavailable to attend the final race.
