Pinewood Derby

Ben and Chris have been working hard on their cars, and tonight was finally the big night--the Pinewood Derby. Ben built a video game themed car (of course) with Mario and Luigi driving, while Chris made an all-American patriotic car. Their cars both turned out great!

As far as the race itself, both cars performed well. Chris finished 12th out of 27 cars in his age group. To give you an idea of how close it was, his average time was 8/100ths of a second slower than the car that won first place. Ben finished in 18th out of 42 cars. His average time was 4/100ths of a second slower than the car that won first place. I'm really proud of both of them!

In addition to Ben and Chris, the other kids in the den made some really cool cars. If you'd like to check them out, click here.
