01/13/2004: "Cub Scouts Pine Wood Derby -- Another Year of Fun"

We are just home from this years Pine Wood Derby. The good news for Thomas is that in his individual races, he was never in last -- and in one race he was clearly in first. However, this years times were only good for having fun -- not good enough to win. But the important thing is we had fun!

Thoughts from this years race to consider next year:
* We had too much weight on the car which made weigh-in
last night more difficult -- a slimmer design might help
* Many of the cars were very creative and hardly even cars,
maybe next year it would be fun to be more creative

Guess we have a whole year to think about the next one!
