Well, we survived our first ever (Jeff Weaver family) Pinewood Derby. Taylor's car took 2nd place and he got the "best designed car" award. Jeff and Taylor spent HOURS making the car. The white pin stripes kept bleeding so they had to sand it down and repaint it SEVERAL times. It was a great experience and we learned a lot. 4 days before the Derby--after the car was already complete-- we found a book at Deseret Book on "Pinewood Derby Car Secrets". It will be great for next year. I suspect by the time Austin gets old enough to race we'll have it all figured out!
This is the car after the race, covered in graphite powder--as are Taylor and Jeff's hands.
