First Pinewood Derby

Now that Carter is in Cub Scouts he gets to participate in the annual Pinewood Derby. This was not only Carter's first year, it was Jason's first time too.  Jason turned to the internet for tips since he has never built a pinewood derby car.  He watched lots of videos and read lots of web pages to learn how to build a good car.  He was hoping that Carter would win a least one race.  Maybe it was all the research or just beginners luck, but Carter won ALL thirteen races he was in. He was the overall winner of his pack.

 Carter did get in on the building of his car.  Hopefully he learned a thing or two.

 The finished product.  "The Cartervette"

In the starting block.  (Check out the Jeep)

 Winning by two car lengths.

 This was his fastest time.  3.767 sec.  131.2 mph

There were a lot of really cool cars there.  We didn't get any pictures of the other cars, but they were all something for the boys to be proud of.
