The Columbus Dispatch asked engineers and designers at Battelle, Edison Welding Institute and the Center for Automotive Research at Ohio State University to design and build the fastest Pinewood Derby cars they could for two special races. We also invited a 10-year-old Cub Scout to keep them honest. On March 31, the first-ever Dispatch Pinewoodapalooza was held at Battelle. The results will blow your mind.
