I have become the great pine car builder!

Last night our church held our version of the pine car event. Almost the same rules apply the only think different is you can't use graphite and the wheels are thinner. We got there weighted in and went to get food. After eating and listening to a quick devotions the race event began.

Abbi's car was a speedster and won her division. She was unbeaten and unchallenged...lol! Abbi was worried the whole time that people would be watching her and she was almost sick over it. It looks like she has her daddy's nerves and her momma's fear of being put in front of large crowds.

Hannah's car was basically a 3rd place car. The first time Hannah's raced she was put against Abbi which was not fun to watch. Hannah's car did win but not enough to place 2nd. Plus her's sustained a small injury to the left rear wheel. I had spaced the wheels far out just to see what would happen with the speed it proved good but also costly. Hannah's was the only one that was damaged our of the bunch.

Micah's car (same one from Boyscout) was a power house AGAIN! It had so much speed it was fish tailing down the track. His car too was unbeaten. Actually his probably one of the fastest of all divisions.



So again folks somehow I have gained the skill of pine car builder. The only problem with this is I will have to live up to this next year.
