CARLOS'S PINEWOOD DERBY

Carlos, pinewood derby car and trophy. This blog is backwards but you get to see the smiles and the races. They all came with a smile and they all left with a smile (except for one the grand champion was playing with his car after the race and dropped his car and it broke in half. It was really sad after all the time he spent working, or his dad spent working on the car to have it break. It was after all the races were done though. That is a bonus).


The whole group of proud scouts. As you can see all scouts earned a trophy. This was the best pinewood derby I have ever attended and I have been to 5 with Carson. They had a race where the slowest car won a 1st place trophy. It was backwards but the funnest race of them all. All the boys thought this was the funnest race too. Everyone races everyone and it was a joy to see everyone happy and no one crying because their car wasn't fast.

It was a fun pinewood derby event. I thought all the boys had a good time... lots of smile and just plain old fashioned fun and all boys getting a trophy... all the recycled trophy. This felt like a really good family nite. Thanks for sharing. I need to put up my blog of the pictures I got. Probably none of them were as good as yours though. Thanks for making sure we know about everything coming up. Love, Mom
