    Pinewood Derby ... With strings? Cubscout question

    I have been thinking of something fun for our college to do and thought of a Pinewood Derby competition between the different clubs on campus. So far everyone likes the idea.

    But it got me thinking of when I was young and they were recruiting for the Cubscouts.

    I swear I remember seeing a video showing all the things we can do in the scouts and it included an alternative to the Pinewood Derby. I think this would be held alternating years. It was small models that looked like submarines that raced below strings. As a kid it was the coolest thing ever. However, my pack never did it and it was always the derby.

    Am I dreaming this up? I can't seem to find anything online about this. I would like to maybe have this race instead of a derby because string would be so much cheaper than making a track. Plus I want my childhood dreams to come true.

    It probably is the Space Derby.

        ^Yeah, Space Derby. My son did that one year. It was kind of a pain to set up, and most of the rockets fell off the strings. I helped them run the races that night, and we had a bunch of irate parents.
