The Scout with the fastest car in each level were:

The car design winners from this year's event included:
Best Paint: John McNeill (His car featured the ISU logo.)

Best Design: Brandon Dighton (He created a true race car design.)
Scouts built approximately 20 cars; several adults also created their own Pinewood Derby car for an open class race.
