CAR takes first and third place in The Dispatch Pinewood Derby

Posted: 

From The Dispatch:

In February, The Dispatch asked engineers and designers at Battelle, Edison Welding Institute and the Center for Automotive Research at The Ohio State University to design and build the fastest Pinewood Derby cars they could for two special races.

On March 31, the first-ever Dispatch Pinewoodapalooza was held at Battelle. The results will blow your mind.
