You Win Some! You Lose Some!

Tuesday, April 29th was Carson's first Pinewood Derby. We spent countless hours designing and crafting what we thought would be a speedy car. Carson had to weigh and check the car in three days before the race. On Saturday the Cub Master called and told us that Carson's car did not go down the track smoothly. It kept getting stuck. So we had to go pick it up and make some changes. We took the weights off the bottom and placed them in the back...
When we were finally done Carson was so proud of his car and kept telling us how lucky he was to have it.

The race was so much fun. There were about 20 cars all together. Some of the ones included were trucks, sport cars, and even ones shaped in the slice of a pizza.
Carson's #4 car took 4th place. His was also voted "Most Sporty."

We thought for sure it would get 1st place speed. Especially when both of Cole's cars took 1st. But no luck this time. When we picked up the car after the race was over Mark took a look at the wheels and noticed that they were rubbing up against the side of the car. Wow!!! The wheels were rubbing and we still took 4th place. Not a bad place to be...
You win some!!! You lose some!!! Next year the race is on....
