It's Pinewood Derby Time!

Last night was our Pinewood Derby for Cub Scouts.  Kyle and Cooper have been working hard getting the car cut out, sanded, painted, and wheels put on just right.

Cooper wanted an Army El  Camino.
He used some of his Lego pieces for the gun and such.  The paint job is actually a wrap.  Kyle wasn't sure how to paint camo by hand, so they bought a paint wrap.

Here is Cooper's car for his second racing heat.  He is the car in the middle.  He continually did well, sometimes beating another car by .02 of a second.  The boys voted on each other's cars: best paint job, fastest looking car, best looking car.  Cooper got best looking car.  All boys got a trophy, 100 grand, and a certificate.  Then the final results were announced, Cooper got 2nd place!
