Pinewood Derby the Perfect Example
June fifteenth this year would be the moment when the Boy Scouts of America’s Cascade Pacific Council would be honoring the Ford Motor Company. The company would be given by the mentioned 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 actually done as part of the activities and events of the Grand Prix of Portland which is a yearly stop of the Bridgestone Presents The Champion Vehicle 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 respecting 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 learn about the trials and tribulations of building the perfect race automobile. From planning the automobile, putting the weights and even developing paint schemes, the Scouts get ready for their races in much the same way our engineers test and develop our race cars.”
This award is a distinction that is recognized well enough by the company. In fact, Jamie Allison, the boss for the Ford Racing Performance Group, had things to say about this. He states, “It is an honor to be recognized by the Cascade Pacific Council, Boy Scouts of America. I’m privileged to accept this award on behalf of Ford Racing Technology and Ford Racing Technology and Ford Racing. It is a great respect us to be recognized by an association that has such an impact on the young folks of the Portland area and across the country.” With the various sorts of awards and accolades that the Corporation has received thru the years, this award would be another one that is part of the corporation’s treasure.
