n’s First Pinewood Derby

With the help of our den leader’s husband and his garage/woodshop, n and D built n’s first Pinewood Derby car for Cub Scouts.  D never did this as a kid, so he really had no idea what he was doing.  I helped n paint it, but that was the extent of my involvement.  We really had no idea what to expect.

The set up was quite impressive and there was a computer that kept track of the standings.

n’s car did not place, but he did win a ribbon for “Most Realistic Car Design”.  We have a few ideas on how to improve for next year, so we will see how that goes.
