January 30 marked a banner day for Brad and Carson! After making 9 PINEWOOD DERBY cars, the boys finally got it right.In our LONG history of the event, it began with 6:30PM weigh/check-in with a start race time at 7 PM. Our minds expected the same timing for the LAST race for our Cub Scout era.
Experience has taught me to not freak-out when my husband and Carson are putting on the souped-up wheels as we drive to the family event at 6:50 PM--plenty of time.
However, this year the cub leaders decided to have the weigh-in at 6 PM and RACE start at 6:30PM. Thank goodness for Mormon standard time because when we swooped in at 7:05 PM, only the FIRST race had begun and after all was said and done--

CARSON (and Brad!!!!! who am I kidding) WON FIRST PLACE with a VERY thin "skateboard" car!

ReplyDeleteCongrats on the big win! I'll admit, I'm not really looking forward to the whole scouting thing. We'll see how it goes!
ReplyDeleteWohoo! 9 years of Pine Wood Derby's! You are one of those amazing endure-to-the-end women. :) Congrats to Carson and Brad. :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to the Bishop Family on winning the Pinewood Derby. We had one year where Daryn (of all scouts) won. That was when Mike Bingham had arranged for Ed Eilert, Mayor of Overland Park to present the trophies. It was so cool.
