Pinewood Derby Beginners Luck!!

Connor and Ryan built their first pinewood derby car this year. I should actually say that they assembled and painted the the "Seahawks" themed car. I purchased an "official" pinewood derby kit from Michael's that did not require any carving or tools. It looked great, but when we got to the derby, and they weighed it, they realized that Connor's car was way underweight. Ryan started gluing pennies on at the very last minute where ever they fit to make it the correct weight. Turns out, they did a great job because Connor's car got first place in EVERY heat. He was so excited, but in true Connor fashion, was a little "too cool" to really show how pumped he was until he got home.  It was a fun event!
