My son and I went to the Derby Monkey Garage yesterday. What a neat place! He let us use anything we neede and gave some great advice. Looks like we might be pretty competitive Saturday night at our BSA derby.
Thanks again, Scotty

Thanks Scotty... you and your son should have a great car. Please give us a race report.
We held another workshop today. We had about 10 scouts and a lot of parents. Had another great day. I have worn out another Pro Body Tool.
The best part has been helping single moms and sons buil a car. Otherwise the kids would completely miss out on the pinewood derby.
Thanks, Steve

Steve,
We had one heck of a day. We won tiger den champion. Then won overall pack champion. Went undefeated. And now have the track record at 2.589. I don't know what race software they used, but they took an average of the heat races. So we held our own all day. Not just for two or three races. I don't think it has really sunk in yet.
We are truly in your debt.
Now it's off to district. They say it will be held in the middle of Longview Mall. With channel 7 news there reporting on it

Congrats to you and your son !! Make sure you put the car somewhere safe and secure until the District race !! I would say it is in no need of anymore tuning, just re-lube it and race !! Lucky 13

Will do. I do have some pics. I am going to try to figure out how to get a photobucket account so I can post them. If I can't figure it out I will email them to you and maybe you could post them for me. Cause I'm not very good with the cut and paste thing. ;D
