Pinewood Derby 08

The cub scout pinewood derby was on Oct 22nd, I am a little delayed in getting the images up from it. We had a great time. Of course we were the defending champs from last year, and we had our title to defend. Mostly me that is was feeling that way. Granite just wanted a cool car that went good, which I think he did a great job.


Seriously stiff competition


The Yoshi Mobile. Granite thought up the shape, cut it out with the help of Brother Osterhaus, painted it, put on his Yoshi, and put the green paint on so that it would look like a yoshi egg. I of course put on the wheels. We are talking about defending a title here.


The sweetest pinewood derby track in the history of Cub Scouts. Our friend Bro Richards in the yellow, built this and it is seriously nice. All electronic, long straightaway to seperate the fast from the good cars, etc.


Little Marjorie keeping it interesting.


Granite and his best bud waiting for the race to start. Come on already.


Some pretty great faces.


Lined up ready to race. The Yoshi Mobile is next to Swift Cheese that ended up taking the title from us.

Notice the cool copper rocket booster on back. We lost our title, but you cant win them all. Granite did great finished in the top third of a big group, and was happy with the outcome, a super sweet car he made from his ideas, and fun. I should have spent more time with the wheels.
