David has been so excited for this year's pine wood derby races. He got his car packet about a month ago and started designing his car right away. He enlisted the help of Brother Norman Anderson to help him cut the car to the appropriate shape. After that he sanded, painted and finished the car himself. Then he took some money he earned mowing lawns and bought himself the perfect set of stickers. Then, on the day of the race, he put the wheels on and added the extra weight to hit 5 oz. He has been so proud of his car and was excited about his chances of winning this year's races.
David's car did excellent and everyone that participated were great sports about the races. David didn't win every race but it was still fun to watch.
In the end, David took 2nd place after having a 4-race tie-breaker. It was intense but added to the excitement of this year's races. And David was still excited to get his little 2nd place trophy.
