The highlight of the races might have been the adult race. The adult race is an unlimited race so there are no rules about wheels or weights. We had two adults change their entries to siblings instead of racing against Andy and Adam. (A father son team.) They each had a car that weighed over one pound.
They crashed at the end. One car jumped off the track after hitting the pillows at the end of the track. It caused several bullets to fly off the car.
So we're not going out winners. We were invited back next year to enter as friends. We were talking to the Cubmaster and said we wouldn't be able to race again for 5 years when Goofy is in first grade. (And also, the Cubmaster will still be there as he has one more boy that becomes a Tiger next year.) He said we could enter next year in the sibling's, but I told him we don't have anyone left there. But, he said that the siblings is really the siblings AND FRIENDS division. So maybe. Maybe we can keep practicing to be really good at this for when Goofy is older. And maybe, we just need to get a life!

At least Dippy had fun right?? Pinewood derbies are always fun even if you do lose. (My brother is in cub scouts. So I know about stuff like that) Good job Dippy!!! :-)
Why was Dippy's car marked the funniest? He couldn't understand that one.
Because EVERY car gets a certificate of some sort. I think they sort of get laid down wherever. I liked it cause that was the second time he got funniest. (And different judges each year.)
I'm not sure he was thrilled with the funnies label.
