This past Sunday, Logan had his first Boy Scouts Pinewood Derby race. Dad and Logan spent the last month working on his car. Cutting, sanding, painting, and assembling to have his car meet specific criteria. Rob did the cutting, Logan did the sanding and painting (doesn't it look good) and Rob put it together, along with adding weights to make it heavier. We carried the car as if it were a crystal ball up to the weigh in station. When we put it on the scale, we were .8 oz off. So, Rob being the wonderful troubleshooter that he is, came up with drilling out some of the wood. After running out of wood to drill out, he had to go into his weights. That finally did it. The weight was right on.
Logan's group was first. Logan won his heat, and to make a long story somewhat short, it came down to Logan and his friend Chris. They raced and won back and forth. It finally came to a sudden death race, where unfortunately, Logan came in second. He was very excited and proud of what he and his dad did. Logan even said that he got teary eyed when he was handed his trophy!! It wouldn't surprise me if dad got teary eyed when Logan got the trophy. I am so proud of both of them!!
Way to go Guys!!!
