Pinewood Derby Jeep
Just thought I would share some pictures of my son's Pinewood Derby car for this year.
I thought because it would be slow so I did not really do anything to it for speed but he ended up in 4th place and only 0.2 seconds slower than 3rd place over 6 races combined. I ( I mean my 8YO) could of easily gotten 3rd had I tried..

Super cool! I've been a Scout leader for many years, now, and currently work primarily with the adults (training, etc). However, I also photograph events for my local area, and one of my favorites is Pinewood Derby.
BTW: Ever think of making a PWD semi as a tow rig for your boy's Jeep? Although it goes back and forth on whether the kits are available or not, I'm pretty sure I have somewhere on my hard drive the instructions for how to build one pretty much from scratch. If interested, PM me an e-mail address. It does take a special track (with a longer starting gate) if you're going to race the big rig. But, they are still impressive just for show.
