Pinewood Derby

Supplies for Pinewood Derby Car: $5.00
Labor for making Pinewood Derby Car: two re-attached fingers
The look on Sam's face after beating out 19 other cars: priceless!


Sam's car raced in eight different heats to place third in his first Pinewood Derby.
Third place is good -- we'll take third place! Tim was a bit disappointed. He was really hoping for first place since it cost him the use of his left hand for a few months. But when I broke it down for him - Sam's car beat 19 other cars and only 2 cars were faster - he felt better.
And ... Sam's car was the only one with an urban underglow light - made with a battery and Christmas lightbulb. Very cool!
Putting on the finishing touches...
The final weigh-in...
Ready to Race...
Sams car wins again...
