We Welcome Your Involvement

It is time to get our engines tuned up for the annual GGH 500 Pinewood Derby Race!  If you are not familiar with the GGH 500, each boy turns a car kit consisting of a small block of wood, 2 axles, and 4 wheels into a pinewood masterpiece!  These guys put their all into their cars, and dream of taking that checkered flag on the Pinewood Derby indoor track, first for their House in the eliminations and then for the Championship race!   It is intense.  In addition to the race, our Race Day guests are asked to vote on the cars for the Best Paint Job and the Best Design and each house will have a 1^st, 2^nd, and 3^rd place winner in each category
