Every year, we feel a lot of pressure and stress due to the annual Cub Scout activity known as The Pinewood Derby. Our boys have almost always received the awards for "best paint job" or "best looking car" (code for "not so fast" and "so what if your wheels fell off?"). We have had one winning car, though, so we keep trying. This year, Justin did all the designing and painting. Ryan helped him cut it and shape it, but Justin did the sanding. Todd worked on the wheels and axels and alignment.
The night of the derby was fun. The pack sprang for a fancy track with an electronic finish line. This was an improvement over the old track with gaps between the sections which caused the cars to jump the track! Justin won the first 6 races! He was sure he was going to get the big trophy this year! Look!
But then he got beat in his next few runs so he came in 3rd place overall. And he got the award for ..... BEST PAINT JOB!! Way to go Justin!
