The 2001 Pinewood Derby
I participated in the Pinewood Derby. Papaw & I worked hard getting my car just the right style, color, and weight that I wanted. It was a silver car, and looked very sharp. My car didn't win the race, but I won a certificate for "Best Cub Made Car". I am very proud of it. You can see the car in the picture below, as Gabby is holding it, and I am holding my certificate. We are getting a kick out of standing in the back of Papaw's truck!

Here are some of the cars in the race - see if you can find the my silver one.
Here is the neat track that the leaders built for the race. It had automatic lights that would blink for who came in first, second and third.
Here is how I looked that day - age 9 years.
Here I am with some of my scout buddies.
