For an Elder's Quorum activity they held a Pinewood Derby contest. With being the macho men that they are they had VERY few rules. 1. Car cannot weight over a pound and a half 2. Nothing can stick out of the front of the car to make it longer.
Dave, being the Engineer that he is, drew up his design. Looks pretty sweet. Then we went over to my Grandpa's to use his tools to cut it out.
His car was pretty stickin fast. Look at it, it just looks like it would smoke every car.
Dave's car ended up winning EVERY round. The car was undefeated. He won this cool trophy and bragging rights for the next year until their next race. Some of the guys added extra items to their car to make it even heavier. One guy added bulletts, just duck taped them to the top. One guy added a jack hammer chisel to the top with tape, the back end was super long. The Cox's did a wii remote and a banana, they were pretty awesome.
Really, we have a good time and it was a great idea for an activity, one thing I love about the Summerfield Ward is they have so many activities.

Awesome - andria and I went to a bakery recommended by bakerella wow it was good - went shopping in walnut creek - cute down town. She said she would get a copy of that pic of grandpa you wanted.
Wow...that is some major skills! Dave will have a blast when Carter is old enough to participate in the real pinewood derby.
We were sad to have missed the activity. It sounded like a ton of fun!
Fabulous. Looks EXACTLY like something David would make. Perfect lines, sleek design, and quite honestly could be considered an art piece in some countries. Nicely done brother.
that is a hot looking Car. Now it is time to go and get that made to a real size car and make sure one is for me!!!! A limited addition!
