Pinewood Derby Race Day!!!

THE BIG DAY!J's car wins 2nd place overall after a very exciting race day!

Above is a picture of our troop's race track. Just out of the frame at the bottom are two ramps that launch the cars into a pile of blankets for a crash landing. On this track the left lane is faster than the right. To win a race a car has to win on BOTH sides of the track.
Above is J's gold car on the left hand lane and the 1st place winner's car on the right hand lane. These two cars were so closely matched that it took 5 or 6 runs to determine the winner!

Everyone had a really great time. J made us so proud by demonstrating such good sportsmanship and a positive attitude! And winning was fun too!
