Pinewood Derby Day!

Sat. was Brett's Pinewood Derby race. He was ready and excited. The Rocket I was ready for take off! Brett placed well. There was a total of 34 cars to race. Brett placed 8th over all. The cars were judged on design, paint, scout choice, and judges choice. Brett won "Best Design". Yea Brett. He really did design this car and did the majority of the work. Doug was there to supervise and keep Brett safe. No matter what, the two of them had fun together working at the shop.

This is the starting point on the track. Four cars race at a time. There was a total of 64 heats. Each car races in each lane.

Once the cars are checked in, weighed, and measured to meet requirements, you are not allowed to touch your car again! This is Brett's rocket after check in.

Here are Brett and Doug waiting to check in the Rocket.
