Oct. 5, Cubs and Scouts from Winthrop Troop and Pack 604 cheered on the racers during the annual "Fall Fury Day" at Wiscasset Speedway, got to meet a driver and learn some of the important safety rules and got a chance to be in a pit crew.

Samantha Remington, Scoutmaster and Cubmaster of Troop and Pack 604, said, "Troop and Pack 604 had an awesome day at Wiscasset Speedway. A huge shout out to the Ladies Acceleration Tour for organizing the behind-the-scenes visit for us. The Scouts got to change the tires of Car #12 driven by "Fast Auntie" Kasie Kolbe with help from Pete Kölbe. ‘Jeffrey the Flag guy’ taught them what the different color flags meant. Before heading to the stands, the Scouts received string bags with pictures and autographs of each of the lady racers. Two of our Scouts were selected for prizes for the Wiscasset Kids Club Prize. Thank you Ladies Acceleration Racers, you are all amazing!"

Each year, the Scouts across the nation hold their annual Pinewood Derby where they demonstrate their wood-carving skills and fashion their own race car out of a block of wood. Watching the professional racers will give the Scouts ideas on ways they can improve their car for this coming year's derby. Plus, they enjoyed a day at the racetrack.

Remington added, "The Ladies Acceleration Tour is a group of amazing ladies who organized an incredible, memorable day for our scouts. Thank you to them, Wicked Good Vintage Racing Association and Wiscasset Speedway for a great tour, great race, and great Scout family day."
