Jace got to participate in his very first pinewood derby for cubs this year. He worked really hard on his car (blue with a fluorescent yellow stripe down the center).
He and Matt weighed and measured before the night of the race and then made last minute, well calculated adjustments for weight (Matt even took it to the post office to weigh it a couple days before!)
Excited for the first race (see him beaming in the middle of the sea of cubs?)
Second heat...Jace's car is in the middle.
He won 4th overall, so he was out of the running for a ribbon...so close! Better luck next year!
And do I have a good shot of Jace's car? Noooo...but I do have one of Matt's (this is his car from his cub days). It was a little shy on weight so he glued an animal cracker to the top. He and Jace raced their cars after it was all over. Jace's one by a hair!
They can't wait for next year...they already have a vision, of course...
