2 - Running the computer racing program.
3 - Racing the cars

Any help you can give will be greatly appreciated.
The father of the Pinewood Derby®, Donald Murphy, described his vision for the event to
Scouting magazine in 1999: “I wanted to devise a wholesome, constructive activity that
would foster a closer father-son relationship and promote craftsmanship and good
sportsmanship through competition.” As Cub Scouts learn the skill of good sportsmanship,
they are better able to recognize and appreciate the new skills they’ve acquired, to show
respect to all those involved, and to experience the fun and excitement of competition.
