Pinewood Derby

The annual Cub Scout Pinewood Derby was yesterday. It's one of the premier scout events of the year with lots of awards on the line for speed and for design.

Cars, including Tyler's, at the starting line. Each scout raced
in 4 heats within their rank (which correlate to grade). They
raced in each of the 4 lanes on the track. The top 3 fastest in
each rank received a medal and the top 3 fastest overall
received a trophy.

Tyler and the third graders anxiously watch their cars and
resulting times. The track is pretty high tech and shows the
final times at the finish line and up on the big screen.

Tyler came in 3rd place for fastest car in the Bear rank.
