Pinewood Derby

Today was the Pinewood Derby. The cars were noticeably better done this year. There was a workshops that Charles had to miss that helped the kids get the cars tuned up. About half the cars were right on the weight limit when in previous years it would generally just be a couple of them.

I thought Charles’ car turned out to look good, very Lego like. We put the E-lites and those were nice looking. Unfortunately Charles’ car ended up in the middle of that pack in both looks and racing. I thought Charles wasn’t that concerned but he won his first few races and then when things turned against him he became sad. But we made it through the event and I think he had forgotten it by the next morning.

I didn’t get a lot of pictures because I was tasked as usual with arranging the heats. I should have prepped better and found some software to do the scheduling. Instead I used my big pad of paper and a marker. Good enough I suppose.
