The Pinewood Derby!

Today was our Cub Scout's Pack Pinewood Derby race day. It was a lot of fun. Ben, Dad and I have been working away on his car. We were rather shocked to see that Ben's car came in first on his first race and then to have won 3 out of his 4 races. We thought with the wheels wobbly that the car never really had a chance and compared to the rest of the cars his didn't look well cut. The car had to be 5 oz or below and on the first weigh in it was a little over 4 oz, so Dad added the rest of the weights to the back of his car and I think that made the winning car. Ben's car was the third fastest in his Den and won the "Sportiest" car. In all he was #14 out of 34 cars. Not too bad at all for his first year!
