Pinewood Derby Day

David had his first Pinewood Derby race as a cub scout yesterday.  Adam also participated in the open division.
David and Greg and Adam worked on these cars for weeks.
Here is David's car.  He wanted a three wheel car.  The rules state it has to have 4 wheels so his fourth wheel is glued on the back.

 Here is Adam's car.  This little boy has so much patience.  He painted and helped so much with his car.  He knew exactly how he wanted his stickers and  wanted no help in design from Greg.

Adam's race was first...

 Adam really was excited to see his car race!

 his car is the black car on the far right in this picture...

 Then it was time for David's race...
His car is second from the top...

 so much excitement...

 and then it flipped off of the track it was going so fast...

 

Here are a couple of David's races...

 David took first place in his Den.

David was able to move on to the finals.  The problem: David's car flipped over it was going so fast at the end of each race that a piece broke off.  To enter the finals his car had to have all of the pieces before the race.  So, Greg and David glued and taped to front bumper back on.  But that slowed down the car and he did not place in the final race.

Before we were all buckled in the car to come home David and Adam were already planning their designs for next year.
