Pine Wood Derby

Mike and Dylan went Friday night for the weight in of their car. The car had to be under 5 oz. after a couple of tweaks Dylan's car came in at 4.8 oz. They were ready for Saturday.

Both of the boys were very proud of their car. Mike did the major cutting of the wood and adjusting the wheels and Dylan painted the camouflage and put on the stickers.

The derby was an all day affair (I'm so glad I decided to stay home). Mike thought that there was about 70 cars there. Each car had 6 runs on the track. Dylan's car won all of his races.


Oh Boy! Mike was thinking this can't be good - He really wanted to do good, but not make the top 4 because they have to move on to the Regionals.
It was all about the speed and Dylan won 9th place.
