Go Jack Go!

Today was a fun day for Jack! He had his first Pinewood Derby with the Boy Scouts. Jack and Kevin built his racing truck together; Jack decided on the design and Kevin carefully monitored the use of tool. It turned out great! Jack was very pleased with his truck. It was the only truck there!


There were several dens to make up our entire pack in attendance. It was neat to see the different cars and styles other kids came up with. Personally, I think Jack's was the coolest, and I'm not even biased! The boys sat directly in front of the track when it was their car racing. Below you'll see Jack watching, holding back his excitement as he watched his truck take 1st place in the first heat!

It was so exciting! Jack won 1st place for his den and took 4th place overall for the pack. He was thrilled with the day! In this quick video you can see Jack's truck win. At the end you'll see Jack's hand shoot into the air. Unfortunately, a little girl's head got in the way, but you'll get the point.
