Pine Wood Derby

This was Adam's first Pine Wood Derby with the Scouts. He worked on his car for weeks, sanding and painting it. It was also the 100th birthday of the Scouts, so they had a nice taco dinner, too. Here are all the cars after being weighed in. One of his leaders, Bro. Willardson, helped him glue weights on the bottom in the back so it would be faster. He got it to weigh exactly 5 ounces, which is the maximum limit. He was sure he would win!
He won 3rd place and was happy with that since it was his very first time. He is so stinking competitive, I was hoping he wouldn't cry when he didn't win 1st place, and he didn't. He is already planning his car for next year though.
