With technical help from local Cub Scouts, the event attracted dozens of entries from Girl Scouts across the Yakima Valley and as far away as Ellensburg, said Girl Scout leader Amiee Colby, who hopes the competition becomes an annual event.

Second photo: Pit crew member Rick Hall readies a racer. Decorations were encouraged, but pinewood cars can’t weigh in at more than 5 ounces. The sloping track was 42 feet long, and lasers kept time.
