A Winning Week!

Time is flying by, it seems....and so did Josh's little wooden car that he made for his first Cub Scout Pinewood Derby race! It started out as a humpbacked whale design, but he called a halt to the rough cuts early and turned it into a pretty decent looking little race car!

Not only did it turn out to be a bit stylish, it also turned out to be pretty quick! His first heat (1 run on each of 4 tracks) brought him in 3rd each time. By the 2nd heat however, it was warmed up and started winning! When they tallied up the final results, he came in 1st in the Tiger Cub category, and took 2nd place for the whole pack! Needless to say, we were very pleasantly surprised. Now he's saving his car for the district derby race, to take place in April

I plan on taking a good photo of him and his car, which I'll post as soon as I can. I tried to capture a few with him and his friends on the iPhone, but we need to get a better shot of him with his car.
