Pinewood Derby

Saturday was Tyler's very last pinewood derby. It is always a little bit stressful making the car, but luckily we have a great friend Dennis who knows all the tricks and helps all the boys with their cars.
Tyler's car didn't do quite as well as his car last year, but he still finished in the top third out of about 20 boys.

He decided to name his car "The Skunk" because it was black and white.

Here he is at the pit stop, adding just a little more graphite to the wheels.

He made so many stops here, that by the end of the race his car was silver and black instead of white! :)

The track this year was really tall, so the boys handed their cars to a leader, who placed it in position.

The handoff:

The lineup:
One thing that was fun this year is that each boy got a turn at counting down and pushing the button to start the race. Very cool!
Then to end the day off, the cub scout leaders made these cute twinkie cars for everyone to eat.
It was a very fun morning!!
