Pinewood Derby

Yesterday was the Ward Pinewood Derby. Anyone could enter in either the standard category (following the normal rules) or the open category (anything goes except flying and open flames). There were about 15 cars entered including one that Walt helped one of the Young Men with. Walt took the motor and propeller off his model airplane and the Young Man taped them to the derby car block of wood. It's name? "The Beast". It was operated by remote control and SMOKED all the competition. It could easily drive back up the ramp, too, so at one point they put all the starting gates down, got a blanket to catch it, and launched it off the ramp going full speed. It flew 15-20 feet before landing. Good times. :)
