8 Friday, March 15, 2019 brooklintowncrier.com Local Cub Scouts Create And Race Kub Kars Submitted by Bob Nixon In February, more than 200 Cub Scouts from across Whitby/Port Perry Area raced their Kub Kars down the track. There are 11 Cub Packs in the Whitby Area drawing both boys and girls from the south end of Whitby to the Port Perry Community, in- cluding Brooklin and Ashburn. This year's event was hosted by the Burns Presbyterian Church in Ashburn with groups scheduled every week night and Saturdays from February 15 to March 2. Each night the racers put their Kars to the test for speed and design with lots of vocal support from family and friends. The winners (speed and design) were invited to the Area Finals held at the church on Saturday, March 2. Awards were presented for Speed, Design and a special category for Kars built solely by youth. Kub Kars is a yearly event that starts with the youths getting hands-on experience designing and building their own Kars. Each one starts with a standard kit consisting ofjust the wheels, the nails to hold the wheels on, and a rectangular block of wood. From there, the Cubs create Kars they believe will be the fastest or the "coolest". They've made cars shaped like anything from Formula 1 race cars to last year's design winning orca whale Kar.
