Iola Cub Scouts, from left, Milo Franklin, Jackson Young, Ethan Hunt and Brox Elbrader watch intently as their small wooden racecars approach the finish line Sunday during the scouts’ annual Pinewood Derby. The cars, using only gravity, reached speeds in excess of 180 mph. At bottom left, Scout leader Barney Divine carefully places the cars on the aluminum track. Aside from meeting length and weight standards, the cars’ designs were left entirely up to the children’s imaginations, as shown at lower right.
