Derby Time

Its that time of year again...the one the dads don't love but pretend to for the boys sake, and the boys can't contain there excitement.  Preston has his annual Pinewood Derby this last year.  His dad and him spent a good amount of time working on this beauty, and it did not disappoint.  You race the same person twice, once on one side of the track, and then on the other.  (to make sure both tracks are fair).  Preston won his first round with both sides.  Second round he went up against the raining champ (ha ha), Preston's wheel fell off at the end of the track, so they let him take a break and fix it and re-race.  He was really nervous.  When it was all fixed they re-raced, and he won.  From then on he won the rest of his races.  One boy from each Den can go to the region race at the scout expo, so Preston won in the Bear den, after all the boys race they race the 3 winners of each den to see which car is fastest.  Preston's car barley won the other 2 boys.  He was so excited to have won this year.  Dad is really glad its over.  Well until the scout expo in a few weeks, and we need to make sure the car is in good shape. :0)
