Speedracer

This last weekend was our first experience at a Pine Wood Derby race. A big thanks to our friend Jody - he helped with the power tools and assembling (our only power tool is an electric drill, so sad). Nate's a city boy, not your usual man's man.

The first time down the track we were pretty nervous - considering we cut, assembled and painted the car in less than 24 hrs. His car took first place in the first 2 heats.

Look what he ended up with - a 2nd place trophy in his pack

In the car on the way home he said that he'd think about sharing his trophy with you Jody
