Scout Expo
April 13th
Preston was able to race his Pinewood derby car in the BIG Scout Expo competition. If you are the winner in your ward or pack you get to take it down to the Expo to race. Preston took 1st so he was able to race against 70 other Bear derby goers as well. They went through them really fast, and had 4 lanes. Each kid just raced twice. Then they based it on the best times. Preston took 2nd in one heat and 3rd in another. Our car only weighed 4.8 and we knew that going in...the judges there could not believe we didn't want to add the last .2 oz to make the car 5. They're some really big die hards down that way, and we were not one of them. Preston however felt really good about his races, and came home to tell Grandpa, and Dad he was probably in the top 20. I love his optimism, and who knows maybe he was. We also got to help out at our scout booth, and enjoyed the morning together.
