Pinewood Derby 2009







Ty is on his first year in scouts and had his first Pinewood Derby this weekend. He created a Batman car which was complicated to an extent but he made it work. His car was a tad slow cause I didn't exactly have the weight distributed properly. He came in 3rd in his heat and got a ribbon for that. His car was chosen as the Most Unique in the entire pack, about 40 entries total. He received a trophy for this and was very excited. He did very well and most of all he did it himself.






The winner of the event was unfortunately a cheater (used liquid graphite on his axles) and got the big trophy. Ty was very proud to have followed the rules and still won a trophy.






Way to go Ty...
