Pinewood Derby Car Prep Begins
'Tis the season for the Pinewood Derby and one of the main reasons Joseph wanted to be in Cub Scouts. He has been so excited to start. He's a little engineer and has been planning and sketching designs to figure out what will produce the fastest car. I hope that his expectations are not too high; he fully expects to win. I just hope he is not disappointed, it is his first year and I know he has a lot to learn!

So fun!! Good luck. :)
We just had ours last weekend, also our 1st year. You may already know this, but we learned that liquid graphite on the wheels is a great thing (we didn't do it, but will next year). Also the round weights that come w/ the standard car kit are seen as inferior to the square-type weights. (at least but the experienced Scouts). HTH! I wish we knew about some of those things.
Psst -- we know a way to engineer the car to basically guarantee a win. We got the secret from a dad in my girl scout troop XD
