As soon as Nathan walked in the door from school, he was asking Mike about what kind of progress had been made on the car.
Mike ended up taking both boys out into the garage to melt down the lead and grind things down smooth. It was quite a project.
Jake brought his old derby cars out and let Jason drive one too. The brothers had a few races before the event. Jake's car is still pretty fast!
Nate was totally proud of his Greenbay car.
Then, there was the real car. Mike helped Nate build a car that he could keep forever, but then they also built a car to race. We borrowed stuff from the cousins (who haven't ever lost) and they made a pretty fast car. In fact, it was almost embarrassing how fast it was.
Nate didn't lose a heat with that car and he took first place over all.
I guess it's a pretty exciting introduction to scouts!
There's only one other boy in our ward that's still in cub scouts, so we are combined with another ward. They had an awesome set up with computer keeping track of all the heats. They each got to race 11 times and they were all so happy with their cars. It was such a fun night.
Way to go Mike! (and Nate :))
Winner, winner, goldfish dinner...
