Pinewood Derby the Perfect Example

Monday, August 3rd, 2009

June fifteenth this year would be the moment when the Boy Scouts of America’s Cascade Pacific Council would be respecting the Ford Motor Company. The company would be given by the discussed council as the Motorsports Company of the Year. Such an event would take place during the council’s 17th annual Motorsports Breakfast which would be held in Portland, Oregon. In fact, this breakfast is really done as part of the activities and events of the Grand Prix of Portland which is an annual stop of the Bridgestone Presents The Champ Car World Series Powered by Ford.

It was Ron Bennett who presented and gave the Motorsports Company of the Year award to the Ford Motor Company. Ron Bennett is one of the members of the Motorsports Breakfast Steering Council . While honoring the company, he declares, “There are several likenesses between the Ford Motor Company and the Boy Scouts. The ideal example is the Pinewood Derby. We both exercise imaginations and find out about the trials and tribulations of building the perfect race car. From planning the car, putting the weights and even developing paint schemes, the Scouts get ready for their races in pretty much the same way our engineers test and develop our race cars.”

This award is an accolade that is recognized good enough by the company. In fact, Jamie Allison, the executive for the Ford Racing Performance Group, had things to say about this. He states, “It is an accolade to be recognized by the Cascade Pacific Council, Boy Scouts of America. I am privileged to accept this award on behalf of Dan Davis, Director of Ford Racing Technology and Ford Racing. It is a great honor for us to be recognized by an association that has such an effect on the young people of the Portland area and across the country.” With the various sorts of awards and accolades that the Corporation has received through the years, this award would be another one that is part of the corporation’s treasure.
