PINEWOOD DERBY TIME!


We had our last Pinewood Derby this week with Tyler now becoming a Webelos Scout two weeks ago.  He and Barry had a fun time making the car this year.  Barry says now that he has done this for three years previous, that he thinks he's got it figured out how to make a car go faster.  He was grinding wheels with his grinder, measuring wheels and the whole nine yards.  I had a fun time teasing him while the car was being made.  Tyler did a great job picking the body style and doing his part, too, because he won 2nd place overall!  The kids had so much fun that Braden, the pack den chief, didn't have to do his little kids' activity after all and everyone, including Kayli, just watched the races.

Now you just need to have Barry watch "Down and Derby!" The track doesn't have electronic sensors for the close races. What's with that?!
