Dylan and Chad had alot of fun preparing for their 1st pinewood derby together. Dylan loved sanding and painting. His brothers loved watching him and are now counting the years that they too can be in Boyscouts and do a pinewood derby car with their dad.
Here is the finished product.
There were 30 boys racing their cars that night. They raced three cars at a time. Each boy got to race 6 times. One point for 3rd, two points for 2nd, and three points for 1st. Then they added up the points. Chad was out of town that night and was very disapointed that he could'nt be there. I had to put the graphite in the wheels and add a penny to make the weight just right.
Gavin, Jack and Cade supporting Dylan. Nice hands in the pants there Jack.
The first four races Dylan came in 3rd and then all of a sudden he came in 1st for the last two races. I don't know if the graphite finally kicked in or what. I noticed at the end one of the front wheels started to come out. I wonder if thats what started making his car go faster. He tied with 3 others for 18th out of 30. We were happy to win a couple races. It was fun.
