No Rules Pinewood Derby

For achievement day the girls had a no-rules pinewood derby. Charlotte chose a '66 Nova and I had just got done designing a '76 Corvette for Klara when she decided she wanted a box of popcorn. Both cars came out great and are loaded with lead shot! Unfortunately it wasn't enough lead. The winner had a 2" trailer hitch ball mounted to it! Klara won the Most Original Design category and Charlotte did pretty well in the races, but finally got beat out by cars several pounds heavier.

That's okay, we had a lot of fun making and painting the cars and then racing them. Enjoy the pics...
