Chris' First Pine Wood Derby!

I say Chris' because he loves this stuff! As a child he won his pine wood derby and still has the "winning car" as he says, so Chris was very excited that Noah was going to experience his first race. There was a lot of time spent on the car and lots of last minute changes the day before race car check in. The night finally arrived and after lots and lots of waiting it was Noah's turn. He won all three of his races, but after everyone went he had the 8th fastest time out of 63 cars. Noah handled the lose well and really enjoyed the night. Chris took the loss a little harder and talked about what went wrong. Don't worry there will be many, many, pine wood derby races and I am sure Chris will someday build the perfect car. Connor watching all the happenings while sitting with his brothers!
Owen and their friend Alyssa cheering Noah on. Owen was just as excited! Next year he will be able to enter a car.Chris and Noah with "the car"! Next year's challenge for Chris is to make two cars that are equal! We will see how it goes! Great first race!
