As Daniel's scout leader, I feel the weight of promised glory and best car design heavily on my shoulders! Daniel's first pinewood derby proved to be an experience for all of us--patience, research, late night shopping, borrowing friend's tools, more patience, and lots of clapping. : )

Daniel picked the car design that sadly, didn't really match the one online, but was an A-for-effort! The color should be a huge surprise, considering the rabid Y-fans that stalk our halls. With eight quarters (who knew that equals two ounces!?!) glued to the top, and many more button weights along the bottom, the Blue Thunder raced to 3rd-place glory . . . consistently. : )

Good times were had, lots of races were ran, and guess what? . . . Daniel won best car design! : )
