We had a great time at our first Pinewood Derby. What a big deal it is here in Utah. The track that they had was all hooked up to a computer so that all results were accurate. Those cars were racing at around 180mph! Can you belive that!? It was lots of fun to watch all the boys race their cars. Preston's car was called "Shark Attack". Unfortunately I didn't get a picture before it was dropped or banged and lost part of it's fin (spoiler). After the accident Preston actually liked it more because then it looked like it had been in a shark attack. It's hard to see the detail in the photo, but it has lots of scary teeth toward the front and a dorsal fin in the middle. Although Preston didn't win first place, he had a great time. We learned lots of tips from our friends and we're already planning for next year. Tip #1, start a lot earlier than the day before the race on your car! ;o)
