Pine Derby Races

Last week Dave and Dylan raced their latest creation in the Cub Scouts Pine Derby races. This year their car was called "The Wing". Dave being Dave, it was precision-engineered to the Nth degree and he spent several very late nights (including the night before the big race) perfecting their creation. The day of weigh-ins and the big race, Dylan had his last day of basketball and a big tournament he couldn't miss so Dave went to the race with "their" car. Unfortunately  Dylan never even got to see his car race due to the timing conflict but on the bright side, his team did AWESOME at the basketball tournament. Although the car didn't fare as well as last year's car (placed 3rd in the den), they won "Overall Best Paint Job" and are most likely moving forward into the division finals for the appearance of the car. 

Dave is kicking himself and told us  "it's all in the wheels and perfect alignment of them". The Wing had slight issues supposedly due to the design featuring inset wheels. Let's just say he is already working on ideas for next year :)
