I hope Johnathan's father Dave doesn't mind me sharing a story he told me the night of the derby. Dave planned to leave work at 4:30 that evening so that he had time to pick-up Johnathan and make it to the school in time for the pack meeting. Just as Dave was about to leave work, the CEO of his company called an impromptu meeting. The following conversation then took place.
Dave: I really need to get home a little early tonight.
CEO: Why? Is it your anniversary?
Dave's Co-worker: No. It's something more important. It's the Pinewood Derby.
Thanks for sharing, Dave.
Below are pictures of all of the cars for the pack. The cars are lined up by category. Our cars are labeled "T" for "Tigers," and they're lined up in the order that they were weighed in.
All cars got to race three times - each time on a different track.
Click on any of the pictures to see the pics in a slideshow, but the captions unfortunately don't show up in the slide show.
I also have videos of all of the Tiger races. See below. The video quality isn't the best - my fault and the camera's fault. Sometimes the camera's auto-focus was off. I missed the beginning of one race, and I didn't catch a good view of the finish line on others. And some of the video quality was lost when I uploaded the videos to this site.
