Curly was so excited, he was even willing to miss the last half an hour of football practice, and you know how much he loves football. I was still messing around with the stuff for the Arrow of Light award for one of the boys so my sweetie took the car to the church to have it weighed and checked in.
Crafty and I ran to the park and picked up Curly and we made it just as they were saying the opening prayer. Awards were quick and the boys were all excited to head over to the track.
Curly didn't race until the 3rd race. They only put two cars on the track at a time and it was a double elimination tournament. He easily beat his first opponent with at least 18 inches between them by the time they hit the finish line.
His white Utes car continued to dominate every race. In fact, he was never beaten; never had a slow start. When the final race was run, his car was victorious and he was so excited! For a 9-year-old, winning the Pinewood Derby and like taking the checkered flag for one of the pro racers.
And his handmade trophy was pretty amazing too. Great job, Curly (and dad)...
Congratulations Curly and Dad for an aweosme won at the Pine Wood Derby. My husband and sons loved doing the Pine Wood Derby cars. Loved this one, It brought back some sweet memories of our wins.Blessings and hugs for those two!
