In case you missed the announcement....we were in last Sunday (March 16th's) Hammond Daily Star newspaper....look for the Loranger section. You can obtain a copy at most larger grocery stores or the Daily Star will have extra copies.
Our Chappepeela District Pinewood Derby will be on Saturday March 22nd at the Ponchatoula Baptist Church. If you take range road to Ponchatoula.....at red light by Berryland Motors turn left ....church is next block on right. Drive to back parking lot where the gym is....just look for all the cars....LOL Let me know if you need help with directions. You will enter into gym...and do reg/weigh in. If you choose to practice test....you must get there early enough to practice and this MUST be done before you register. Once cars are registered.....your son will carry his car to appropriate area to wait on the race to start. If the car looses anything such as a tire....ect during the race....he will be asked to fix it...
Registration starts at 9am.....RACE is at 10am....they do try to start on time....so the earlier you get there....the better for seating...and faster registration time.....
I have already turned in names on 1st, 2nd and BOS scouts....if you are unable to attend please let me know so that I can make sure the alternate goes in your son's place. Cars are not to be alternated in any way. Any un-sportmansman like conduct will not be tolerated from the scouts or the parents. (I do not believe pack 164 has ever had this problem but wanted to make sure everyone knew the rules.) Last year a little boy placed his car backwards on the track and when he didn't win....his dad called him stupid for the mistake.....and he was not shy about letting everyone hear his rant!! This is NOT acceptable on any level and Chappepeela District has said this will not be tolerated!!
Pack 164 is awesome...I don't have any parents that would do that to their son..but for some packs this is the Indianapolis 500.....LOL
Lets earn the spirit award AGAIN this year!! Please make up signs and bring noise makers for the boys to cheer each other on.....Signs can be simple....GO PACK 164!! .....or Pack 164 ROCKS......or PACK 164 is #1.....just something to show support and cheer on the team!! Boys can wear grey pack t-shirt....if your son does not have a pack t-shirt please have him wear his uniform. Concessions will be available for purchase should you get hungry.....or forget to eat before you come.
I'm looking forward to another great race....so see ya'll Saturday!!!
