Pinewood Derby


This was out first experience with the scouting programs' PINEWOOD DERBY. Duce and Tyler spent a lot of time designing, sanding and painting. We managed to get his car 1/100 of an ounce under the 5 ounce limit. He won his first race, but then a weight fell off and he didn't put it back on, so for the next three heats he was in, he took 2nd twice and third once. He didn't advance to the finals, but he did win the most unique use of weights ( we used fishing weights, of course)!
a video of the winning heat....he is in the first lane on the right...the orange monster!
The spectators....Tee was really just interested in all the balloons.
