Samuel had his last Pinewood Derby on January 15th! It was probably his most successful one too! Aaron and Samuel got to shape the car and added the weights coming out the back end. Samuel liked the looks of them sticking out the end - rocket jets!! Samuel painted it and I drew/painted the road runner on it. Then they put the wheels on. They set the car down and it popped a wheely!! ALL the weight was in the back. Luckily we were still under weight, and when they got to the gym, they had weights we could add to it!
For the races they raced Wolf vs. Wolf, Bear vs. Bear, Webelo vs. Webelo. They chose three cars to race against each other, then had those same three cars race again but change lanes. Samuel's car always won the first race, but one of the wheels always came off during the second race, and he would barely lose, but he never came in third. It was fun and he thought having the wheel come off was great! He got the award for the fasting looking car with the loosest wheel!!
This could be the last Pinewood derby that my family ever gets to participate in and it was a lot of fun!
He had to put three extra weights on it!
