Pinewood derby

My Boy Mike really got into using a drawknife a few weeks back.A bit too much, in fact. We put some cool raised fenders on his car with a bench grinder, but he put it back in the vise and ripped 'em off. :D  he did a pretty good job with the rasp, too.  I helped him tape it, but he did most of the spray painting himself. He tried chewing on some osage the other day, and got really mad when it didn't cut like pine.  ;D
We did OK at the derby, but I didn't have time to fuss with the wheels as much as I wanted. The whole process was quite a blast, though.

Here's a couple of cool cars from the race. i like the  red Starsky and Hutch Torino best - my buddy used to deliver pizzas in one just like it. Wish i took more time to focus the hot rod pic, it was amazing, but I wound up keeping tabs on about 25 scouts. It was like herding cats.

Looks like a good time. I sure miss being the Cub Master and doing pine wood derby with the boys.

Some how you can tell where dad really helped >:D But they are nice to look at 8)
It's great to see you and your son having a good time together.They grow fast 16yrs since my last derby.
Thanks for sharing
