The Pinewood Derby

The Pinewood Derby in our three wards was last week.  Emma, Ben, Erick and I worked on the cars all week long.  Emma and Ben did most of the sanding.  Then we painted them.  The night before the derby we took them to the church to put the finishing touches on and to have them weighed.  We had to put weights on both.  We learned a lot of lessons this year, so next year's models should be much better.

The derby was really fun.  They had hot dogs and nachos.  The track was all decked out with sounds and everything.  Emma's and Ben's cars didn't do too well ... until we got some graphite on them.  Once we got some graphite on the wheels, they started cruising into 2nd and 1st place.  But it was too late in the heats to lower the average times.

Personally, I like Emma's the best ... it just looks cool.
