Pinewood Derby

Yesterday was our Zachary's final Pinewood Derby.
This year he and Bob made a "monster truck". It was 2 cars high!!! They made it by glueing two blocks of wood together. It was a really fun design to make. Zachary's favorite part of the car is the way the "logos" on the side turned out. Mine is the way he made the weights in the back into Nitrous canisters!!!

This is his truck height compared with one of his cars from another year!!

Zachary is such an excellent sport. Even though he did not win, he cheered on his friends and had a good time. Zachary, we are so proud of all the hard work you have done in Cub Scouts.

Now that Bob isn't in Cubs anymore and Zachary will be 11 this year, we will get to take a year off from Cub Scouts until Ethan turns 8 next year!!

Pinewood Derby!!!

Today was our ward's pinewood derby. Zachary's car was the Batmobile. He and Bob spent many hours out in the garage working on it. He had a lot of fun. At the end of the races he was tied for fastest Bear, but in the run-off came in second!
This year Bob also built a car. It was a Hostess Twinkie. It was a filler car so that all the races had all 3 lanes filled. He didn't win a single race, maybe next year! Some of the other leaders had some pretty fast cars. Something to aim for next time.
Below is a video clip of one of the races where he placed 1st. Also a slide show of the whole process.
