Evan's Banana Racecar

Evan had a blast at the Pinewood Derby. It was one of the biggest scout event where the boys made their own racecar from stratch. They have to learn to design, cut the wood, sand it down, paint and put the wheels together. The most challenging part was to make sure it weighs no more than 5oz. That's why we've quarters and dimes glue on top, and the bottom of the car. :) Evan's design won him the title of "Funniest Car" from the judge. Well, we have to thank Mr. Shaw for his help in carving the wood into the shape of a banana. We won't be able to do it without him.

At the right is a picture of Evan's racecar from last year. It didn't do well at the race since the wheels kept falling off. But, that's how we learn to make a better one this year! :) It got the title of "Most Patriotic" racecar.
