Pinewood derby time

I made him sane his brains out.

Here she is---the A-11 popcorn jet. He did well winning the best design for the pac-209 and now on the way to district competition.

And this shot portrays pretty much how I felt at the end of the day starting at 8:00 am until 3:00 pm.

It was a great day with a fantastic group of parents and kids---some of the best days of my life.

Wonderful!

Congratulations to your Gandson Alex ! Thanks for sharing. Brings back fond memories of building and racing Pinewood cars in cub scouts. Mine were very crude in comparison to Alex's however.

Nice Job.
Our Pack's races are not until the middle of March, but the planning stages are well underway.

Jim, Any of us that spend that one on one time building something with there kids win equally. A block car with wheels or R2D2 sculpted by a professional father makes no difference. The boys are learning family values and will pass it on.

Thank you all---one small way for me to give Alex an edge when he deals with so much every day having Tourettes, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder and ADHD. He is such a loving boy---my joy every day.

That's SAND his brains out.

Winners circle shot. And where would we be without a mini-gun mounted on top.

Safe to say I am not politically correct!

Awesome thanks for sharing.

The minigun puts it over the top.

Awesome car, and congrats to the team who put it all together.

I still remember my pinewood derbies in the 60s. I wish I still had the two cars my Dad and I made (OBTW - my dad made most of them, but that's OK). Don't let those get away.

Kirk,
Congrats to you & your grandson!
Working on stuff with my grandsons make me feel younger.

Good work! Congrats to Alex and his ground crew!

Beware the TSA while en route to district competition - they might well try to confiscate the mini-gun.

Way to go Kirk! What a great way to pass on our love for cars and spend time with the grand son! Congrats to both of you!
