The Iglesia Cristo La Roca congregation in New Castle has been hosting its annual Carritos de madera Carreras pinewood derby since 2016. On Saturday, it once again hosted its pinewood derby event, where it received at least 80 registered cars.

The event originally started with a wooden track but now uses a sleek metal course complete with digital technology. Included with the day’s races were games and face paintings for children.

Congregations as far as Delta, Grand Junction and Edwards participated Saturday.
