Pinewood Derby Champ

Hunter worked hard on his pinewood derby car for the big Cub Scout event! He and Rob went online and found plans for the perfect car. They ordered the pattern, got all of their tools and set to work. Hunter did most of the work, while Dad supervised. Mom supervised the painting, but Hunter did that too. The car is called Inferno, and it was super hot last night! Check out the gallery to see it in action. There were twenty cars entered in the race, and after all seven rounds were finished, Hunter came in third place! He took first place in every race he was in except the two he came in second! He was also awarded with a certificate for “Most Artistic” entry. Great work Hunter! We are so impressed!!

    Oh Hunter, how excellent! Takes me back remembering when your Dad and all his boy cousins were Cubs and Scouts. The Pinewood Derby was such a fun event. You sure do look awesome in your uniform!!!!!

    Way to go Hunter, what a fantastic car! And such a great paint job, so impressive! I remember when your Dad made his Pinewood Derby car with Pappy whne we were living in California, and then we all went to watch him race it. I always wished I could make one of those cars, it always looked like so much fun.

    What would we do without the BLOGS? We would be missing out on so much. It would be nicer if we were there but I am grateful for the blog.
