Pine Wood Derby - Cub Scouts grand tradition


We went to my youngest son Matthews Pine Wood derby competition today. We worked hard on his car and I thought it looked pretty decent. I should have used the darn graphite on the wheels though and it was pretty slow. He was a little disapointed but I thought it was a good time over all.

His car is in the top left of the photo with all the cars. Its the red one right next to the bath tub car (just to the right).
