PINEWOOD DERBY 2012

Dalton designed, painted and glued everything to his block of wood to make a coal fired train.  He painted it silver, hot glued the black rocks and added the weights to help it get down the track.  Once he decided to put graphite on the wheels, the train took off.  He won about 7 of 10 races.  All the kids had a good time.  He can't wait until next year, he wants to buy the derby car kit now and get started.  Russell tells him that its one thing to start early but this is way too early.

He really did a good job!
