Braden's First Pinewood Derby

Braden could not wait for Pinewood Derby time. He has been looking forward to this since he started scouts a little over 7 months ago. Braden and Kam worked really hard designing and prepping the car for ultimate performance. I helped Braden with the paint job. He told me what he wanted and I helped him tape everything off so he could paint. I did help here and there including the last step of putting on the stars dots. Then, after a trip to Hobby Lobby for some powdered graphite to lubricate the wheels, he was ready to go. He signed and weighed in and it was go time.

Braden ended up 4th place over all. Kam thinks he may have done even better if we made the car a bit heavier (he was under weight by almost 1/2 an ounce), but there's always next year. Way to go Brady!
