Pinewood Derby

It's that time of year again! Tim and Tyler working on the pinewood derby car. They had lots of fun with it this year and mom helped a little too using her creative tools. She even suggested putting the weights through the center of the car so that they didn't take away from the look of the 'Lary Mobile' it worked out really well! She even found the perfect weight shaped like a bullet which is what we needed for the front of the car to look like a bullet. It was lots of fun!

A few Christmas vacation days spent working on the car....




Racing day...we had to do some modifications to get it to weigh 5.0 oz. It was .5 oz over but we got it down to 5.0 and it worked out well....

Tyler racing his bestfriend Zack...


We didn't win but Tyler received the 'most original award' for his car the Lary Mobile. For those of you who don't know... it is from the cartoon Veggie Tales. :o)
