We survived another pinewood derby!! Wahoo! Actually, this was Jacob's first derby. He was very excited about designing and racing his car. Mark really dislikes building these cars, but I must say he's getting faster and better with each one, as long as we keep the same basic design, which the boys are completely happy with!
A brief look at the competition. All the cars were awesome. I especially like the yellow car in the middle on the top row -- it was Colby's car and was made to look like cheese with a mouse on top -- very cool!
This was the quickest derby ever! Pack meeting/derby was complete in just over 1 hour! Every car raced four times, once on each lane of the track. The track was hooked into a computer which automatically averaged the times and came up with four winners. Jacob took second place! He was so excited!
One of the cubmasters made an awesome car rack for each cubscout. The top says what their award was (Jacob's award was Best Use of Color -- The judges obviously like blue) and then it has two pegs that balance the car and a hook on the back so they can display it on their bedroom wall. So cool!
