Down and Derby

The end of January brought Noah's annual Pinewood Derby with his Cub Pack. He drew a car design on paper with all of the details he wanted. Scott asked him if he wanted to make a car that looks good or go for speed? Noah said last year he went for speed, so this year he wants to go for looks. Scott and Noah went over to our friend, David's house to work on his car. David has LOTS of tools, so it made the project go a bit faster.

How CUTE are these cousins?!?

Noah's car is the red one with the yellow stripe towards the upper right corner.



He lost this heat.

Look at his car go!


Noah was very precise about his car placement on the track.

Since Noah decided he was going for looks this year we chatted about being a good sport if his car didn't win anything. Scott said not to get hopeful. Well, it turns out that out of the 13 Cubs that competed in his pack, Noah won 2nd place!

Here's Jonathon (left) in 3rd place, Sam in 1st place, and Noah in 2nd!
Noah did the majority of work on his car, went to the derby with a great attitude and showed good sportsmanship! His car also won an award for "Sportiest"! We're so proud of him!
