April: Pinewood Derby Night

The big night finally arrived for Andrew's car to find out how fast it was.


This year the track had a new laser tracking system and could tell which car was first down to a nanosecond. For all the dad's in the audience, this was a big deal.


We even had it computer charted. So fancy!


The scouts each took their place waiting for their car to be called.


We family members waited and waited as the races took place. As was expected, this was a 2 hour event.

Brian would have rather been having a root canal.


Here's Andrew's car. He even went on line and found his name written in Chinese characters and glued it to the top of his car.


There were quite the colorful creations this year in the derby.


Andrew's car ended up being super fast. He won 2 of his heats and finished in the top six.


He received his reward and was all smiles. Even his buddy Andrew M came to watch.


Immediately Andrew had to show his dad. He was so excited, so was Brian at the results! Quite an improvement compared to the slower than molasses car from last year.


Here are our ward's troop members. What a handsome group!
