PAINTED TURTLE PINEWOOD DERBY DAY

Tentative Plans LET’S SHOW OFF OUR CORVETTES AND ENJOY PINEWOOD DERBY RACES Since 2003 PVCA has supported The Painted Turtle in one way or the other. This year we have been asked to come up and help celebrate the Pinewood Derby races that are part of Hemophilia Week. The folks at The Painted Turtle have invited the club to participant in this year’s pinewood derby races which are part of the camp’s Hemophilia Week.   This week kids with hemophilia and related blood disorders come together and enjoy a chance to be normal kids. During the week kids will be making their pinewood derby cars to race on the special racetrack set up in the gym on Wednesday.  The club will provide trophies for the winners of the race.  Of course, the kids love to have us come out, so they get a chance to see the Corvettes up close and even sit in them. Of course, it is always a guess as to how long it will be before one of the kids find the horn. Our plan is to meet at 9:15 at Baseline and Americana Way (the old Logan’s Roadhouse). Driver meeting at 9:25. Drive-off at 9:30 From there we’ll head up the Fwy 15 then out across the desert (138) to Palmdale then out to the camp at Lake Hughes.   We’ll plan on arriving at the camp about 12:00, we’ll get the cars parked and then go have lunch at 12:30 with the kids.  And sing along with the kids (singing is optional), a few of the camp songs that the kids have learned.   After lunch we’ll do a tour of the camp and then about 2:30 the kids will come down for the races.
