Wild Fan Theory: “The Cart Before the Ponies” · 10:52pm Aug 7th, 2016
Okay, so after a watched this episode, I looked up what TVTropes had to say about it, and the Shout-Out section mentioned something about a similar activity called the Pinewood Derby. It mentions that the derby is done by Cub Scouts and that the derby has a bit of a bad reputation for having overcompetitive dads take over designing and making the cars. I also noticed that the episode was written by Ed Valentine, who I’m guessing is male.
