Business group's Pinewood Derby proves popular again

What began as an experimental change of pace for the Schaumburg Business Association last year proved popular enough to become a new annual tradition.

The SBA held its second adult Pinewood Derby event for its members Thursday night, albeit with a change of location from the warehouse of MTA Advanced Automotive Solutions to the Northwest Flyers hangar at Schaumburg Regional Airport.

Basing the after-hours event around a specific fun activity brought an entirely different level of energy from the traditional business expo it replaced last year.
