BOSTON (CBS) -With a pinewood derby track over 320 feet long, the Boy Scouts Boston Minuteman Council set the Guinness World Record Sunday.

The track was constructed as a replica of the Leonard P. Zakim Bunker Hill Bridge.

The pinewood derby was part of the events lined up this weekend at SOAR 2012 – Scouting’s Outdoor Adventure on the River.
