Well folks, here it is. Pinewood Derby.
This year Cote wanted all creative control. Last year he came up with a Ken Block Subaru Impreza and it was awesome. This year was the "Brick". And it was even more awesome.
Contrary to popular belief this was not a lazy fathers attempt to get out of building a car, quit the contrary. I spent more this year on items to smooth the axels, a scale, weights, graphite, etc. then I ever have (we now have a box for future years).
It turned out to be a pretty fast car with Cote finishing always in 2nd or 1st. 3rd only twice. It was not fast enough to make the top three, but fast enough for my son to be proud of what he made. That is all I cared about, that he would not be devastated by "his" first car.
Nice work Cote.
Great post. Way to go. Cote! Your Grandpa George and Grandma Ina are very proud of you. The Brick sounds like it was a fantstic car.
