Pinewood Derby

This was Jakes last Pinewood Derby. He made a really cool looking car. His is #4.



He got off to a slow start. The first four races he came in last or didn't even make it to the finish line. Finally one of the officials told us to use different graphite on the wheels. WOW what a difference. He won the last four races after that. Too bad we didn't know about this "special" graphite at the beginning.




I'm just glad he won a few. Made him feel better too.

He won the award for best paint job!


His fans!



We've been doing the Pinewood Derby for 4 straight years. Next year we'll take a break and then the following year Jaxson will start.
