Ah, the Pinewood Derby

Posted by tina at 2/02/2011 08:51:00 PM
My eyes are hurting right now, so luckily for you all this will be short and sweet and probably not reflective of ALL of my feelings about the scout Pinewood Derby.

Gunnar got second place! This was his first derby. He drew the shape of his car, Neil cut it for him and Gunnar did the rest. Well, until the weight part. Neil did the adding/subtracting of the weight. Gunnar also won "Most Colorful" due to his very unique, cool and colorful paint job.

In the end, he enjoyed himself and was happy with the results. The program records the times as well as the points for 1st, 2nd & 3rd places. Gunnar's total elapsed time was only .006 seconds slower than the 1st place car. Pretty cool. The first place car come from a family of life long scouters.

Good job, Gunnar!

Hey, hey! Second place, first timer, that's not too shabby. It's hard to be up against professional scouters. Love that paint job too! Nice job, Gunnar!

I am so glad he had a good time! Now he will be motivated to build an even faster car next time!
