Last year, n and D entered n’s Pinewood Derby race not really having any clue what to do. His car ended up in the bottom half of almost all of his heats, but he did win the “most realistic car design” award. This year, D watched some YouTube videos and enlisted the help of our brother-in-law. n’s car ended up doing much better–4th place out of twelve cars, placing 2nd in most of the heats. The races are always pretty close–just a few hundredths of a second makes a difference! There’s always next year…
n’s car was #29. We’ll call it a “utilitarian” design-haha. For the record, the light green car with two black stripes down the middle won first place (for the second year in a row!)
The boys (and dads) really get into it.
