T's Pinewood Derby




T is in Cub Scouts this year and participated in the Pinewood Derby the Saturday after his birthday party/sleepover. His two friends, who had spent the previous night with us, came along to see T race. This year every car raced four times. T's car won 3 out of 4 of his races. The only time he was beaten was by the car that ultimately won first place. I thought that was pretty good for his first try at racing.

The Derby was between all the boys younger and older than T in his pack. In his age group, Bears, T had the fastest time. He was very proud of that accomplishment. His car didn't win any prizes for looks, but you could definitely tell that he did it himself (unlike some of the other cars). Check out the pictures and see what you think. There were some really elaborate and fancy cars. I wonder how much help they had from their parents!
