Gentlepersons, Start Your Engines



Uncle Kevin, Daddy, and Noah spent last week building a pinewood derby car. It was certainly hard to tell who had more fun doing it. By race day, the car was painted (metallic blue), weighted (lead fishing weights), and lubricated (WD-40). It passed check-in without any trouble. Noah bounced in the bounce house while Uncle Kevin and Daddy scoped out the competition. Then came the race. There were several heats and each time, Noah’s car won without the need for the electric eye finish. Noah was excited to win a first place trophy, for his age group, and his car came in 4th overall.
