Pine wood derby part 2

So the derby went awesome and all of the participants had fun. Sweet cars, check out the plain block of wood on the left, just put that in the back of your mind for a minute. Boy and girls had fun, although one girl did not really want to race but she kept on winning so she had to keep racing, funny! We had about 35 people bring cars to race some legal some not so legal. This is about the only mutual activity we had where we had nonmutual folks show up from the ward and a couple from other wards.

Here are the cars, yes cars I made. I was relatively sure that I would have people show up that needed cars to race. The pickle/watermelon/zukini/cucumber car was the fastest car that I made. You can put your vote in for what you think it looks like. I had fun making them.

So check out this sweet ride, yeup challenger, yeup General Lee. My friend and scoutmaster made this and believe it or not this is one of the legal cars. And did you notice it has working doors.





My two buses are my favorite, I made the double decker for me to race.



Yes, I actually built little bench seats to put on the top of the double decker.



So I was really impressed with how well this cars ran. They were competitive with full BSA legal cars that were similarly built. So remember the car on the left, you know the block of wood. Our second counselor brought his son that will be 12 in a month to watch. I didn't have any more built cars for him to race but I had a couple of unassembled kits. So we took the block, put on the wheels, and let him race. He beat some very well built cars including my watermelon, the bishops sweet blue demon, and one of young women's leaders car(who took second). That's right, he won it all, a plain block of wood wins. He's not even in mutual yet. Fun time. It was a blast. Thank you Jeff for loaning me the track and to Mom and Dad for the use of tools and stuff, I will explain the stuff later.
