April 2011 - Pinewood derby

I love pinewood derby.....no, not the whining and whimpering over the rules, or the "oh we didn't have the tools to do the car even though you gave us 6 weeks and multiple offers to use someone else's tools so we are just racing a block",  or the griping that goes on when a dad has to shave off a little weight..say 5 ounces or so because he clearly disregarded the written rules.  No..I don't like that part.  The part I love is this:
The anticipation....
 The clapping and cheering at the finish line.....
 And maybe some good-natured jeering.....
 And some grinning and gigglin.....
 Silly play-acting.....
 Super exciting finishes.....
 And some sky high jumping winners,,,,,

That's the pinewood derby!!!!
