Pine Wood Derby

David is excited about being a new cub scout.  He's already getting his first taste of the annual pine wood derby races.  While he's excited about the races and being in cub scouts he's still trying to get the hang of it.  His first pine wood derby got about 20 minutes of expert time and he was done.  Check out how his first car compares to the competition...


To his credit, it was all done by him and not by daddy.  Well, actually the weights for the car were added by me but the design, shape and paint were all David.


Even though he didn't win the race he had a lot of fun racing his car over and over.  After the official race was over he, along with several other scouts, raced their cars just for fun.

Next year should be more exciting now that we know what to expect and have a few more ideas to work with.
