Pinewood Derby

Caleb had his first official pinewood derby race as a cub scout. OK, so I have to admit, we got a little help. I don't have any tools or machines to cut the car from its original block, so I bought a pre-cut car on the internet. Now, we still had to sand it, paint it, put the wheels and decals and weights on, and tweek it just right to make it lightning fast--we just didn't have to cut it. It's amazing what you can get online. We named the car "El Fuego", and then let him loose to burn up the tracks. Caleb ended up taking 4th place overall. Kids had a great time; Dads got high blood pressure and humble pie. Typical pinewood derby!
