Pinewood Derby - Zachary

Here is Zachary with his car named "Derby Eater". This is Zachary's first Pinewood Derby.

Here is dad putting graphite on the wheels. So proud of his boys.

Here is Zachary's den. They were so excited to have there cars race first!

Here is his car getting ready to race. His is the black with orange on top.

There was a mix up this year with the awards. Each car raced four times. Zachary's took 2nd, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. We were surprised to see that he came in fifth in his den. We asked around quietly not wanting to make a fuss and no one seemed to know. Anyway, Zachary was disappointed and confused but we had a talk and everything was okay. Then a few weeks later the results were emailed out and Zachary had in fact taken third in this den. He was only one hundredth of a second away from second place. He was so happy to get a metal!

Here he is with his car and ribbon.

I decided since we have four boys and are going to end up with ton of pinewood derby cars, we are going to make a pinewood derby shrine in our basement family room. Then we can display all that hard work!
