Weyburn's cubs and beavers will be putting their engineering and design skills to the test today.

They'll be gathering at the City Centre Mall. "We are having or annual Cub Car Rally" said Scout leader Allen Klassen, leader of the 5th Weyburn Scout Troop. "Beavers make the Beaver Buggies and Cubs make cars out of wooden blocks, and we race them down a a track."

Klassen says the top racers often win their events by the skinniest of margins. "We have a whole round-robin kind of competition against everybody." he added. "And we get down to the thousands of a second, so these races are pretty tight, pretty close, and it's really exciting."

The annual event begins at 1:00 at the City Centre Mall.
