Carter's second pinewood derby was this past Friday night. The pack made it a focus for all the dens to choose a common theme and work together. We came up with a military theme and one of the parents arranged a really neat tie-in. All the boys made their cars for specific soldiers currently serving. Each boy wrote and sent a letter along with pictures to their assigned soldier. Carter's den won best overall theme/design...a group award.
Our car was not too fast this year. Last year, of the 4 heats we were in, we came in first 3 times and second once. This year we won the first heat and came in fourth every other time. Carter was pretty bummed. I tried to explain that it was a tank, but it didn't help. We'll try to do our research next year and be a little faster.
