Derby

The "Batmobile" in the staging area.

After a successful heat.

Seth and his pit crew.
My boys cleaned house at the Pinewood Derby this year. Seth's car won "Racer's Choice" (All scouts and race attendees voted for their favorite car and the Batmobile won!) and also "Fastest Car in the Bear Den."

Michael and Seth worked EXTREMELY hard on the car this year . . . they spent a lot of time in Home Depot and at the hospital dental lab using the commercial grade lathe to make it perfect. I'm always happy about a successful scout project that requires no effort from me!

Great job guys!

Thomas on the 100 meter race (no, he's not alone because he's in the lead. He's alone because he's skipping, and is 10 feet behind everyone else.)

Long jump:
100 Hurdles. Look at that form. We could pop those things up a couple of notches and he'd still have plenty of room.
