Pine Car Derby

This year Liam was in Pioneers so we had our first opportunity to compete in the Pine Car Derby.  He did a good amount of the work but alas, dad had to butt in and help out.  Owen, not officially being in the derby got a few nice coats of red.  Liam's got some nice hand done flames on the side.  At the practice night, our first run down the track didn't even get us a third of the way down.  We made some modifications and we were running pretty well.  At the actual derby, Liam won his first round and never finished lower than third, but was one second off the top spot overall and finished in 14th place.  He didn't quite get the whole overall time thing, so we had some tears.  Such is life I guess.  There is always next year.

Owen looks a little angry... 

Ready to go.

We won the first round... lane 2.
