Pinewood Derby Recap

Well, the race is in the books. Of eight boys in the den, my son's car (our car?) placed 2nd. In the rank (wolf), we placed third, after a run-off race. In the pack, we beat the car that beat us in the run-off, so managed to place fourth.

My son brought home a ribbon (OK, due to a problem at the trophy house, he hasn't gotten it yet) and a trophy for 3rd in rank. He missed the big pack trophies by one place.

Our council runs a council-wide derby as well. This takes place next weekend, and our result means we can compete there. I also got some axle polishing advice from the guy who won the pack (and has won it several years running).

Photos to follow tomorrow.
