Cub Scout Pack 30 held their annual Pinewood Derby race Thursday evening at the Wirt County Middle School cafeteria.

Several Scouts, of all ages, were on hand to participate and watch the excitement as the dragsters made by the young lads, and their Dad's sped across the finish line.

After several races, two cars at a time, Tiger Cubs Matthew Roberts and Nathan King placed first and second, respectively, and two year Webelos Scout Michael Davis placed third.
