Pinewood Derby Timer

I am the Cub Master for my son's Cub Scout Pack.

Our pack is small and not well financed. I have been working on changing these facts but I still have to plan all of our activities very carefully.

The pack does have it's own wooden track and it's not a bad track, but there were some issues with it.  The starting gate was not designed well.  It had to much mass and the rubber strap used to snap it open was too strong.  The start of each race was kind of like a bear trap going off.
