Redmond Cub Scouts have been working on designing and building their Pinewood Derby cars over the last month. They’ll check-in their cars for weight and regulation, and make adjustments at the tune-up table as needed at 9 a.m. Then they’ll be off the races on a timed track, kicking off at 10 a.m.!

Awards will be granted for fastest time by age group, judge’s pick and best design around 12:30 p.m.

Kendall Toyota is hosting Pinewood Derby in their showroom as part of their Kendall Cares program. Kendall Cares is designed to give back to our community through memorable and impactful events and initiatives.
