My First Pinewood Derby

Last week was my very first Pinewood Derby. My dad and I made the car and my mom helped me paint it. I knew exactly the colors that I wanted and I wanted lightning bolts on the side. I made it in the same shape as the fast car on the movie Down and Derby. And the colors are after one of my Bakugan. I came in third on the first race and second on the second race. Then I had two first's and two seconds. I didn't win or place in the top three put I got a certificate and it was fun to race my first Pinewood Derby car.



*note from mom; after the first race when Colby got second he walked up to Mark and said, "huh dad, looks like this car isn't so fast after all."

Mark just had to pat him on the head and say sorry!

For the most part though, Colby was a very good sport about the whole thing.
