Pinewood Derby

Tonight was my pinewood derby.  My car was a shark.  It had an open mouth, a back fin, and a tail fin.  It had a remora on its back.  A remora is a kind of fish that likes to stick to bigger fishes' bodies and eat parasites off of them.  I made the remora out of clay so that I could add or subtract weight.  I also made a stripe down its back made out of clay. 




I got 2nd place on five of my races and first place on one.  I got the certificate for the most creative car.  I got a medal too. 


Josh Staker, Dagan Howard, and McKay Fitzgerald got 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place trophies.

One of the kids made a Hershey's Bar car.  I was the only one who made an animal.  Kameron Rachel's car was so shiny it almost made you blink. 

Another one of the kids had their weights sticking way up on the front of their car. 

Jeremy Weaver made an i-phone car. 

This was my last pinewood derby, and I really enjoyed it.
