Spencer barely missed the cut-off last year to be able to participate in the Scout's annual Pine Wood Derby. This year; however, he was prepped and ready to go when his wooden block arrived. He thought and planned, whittled and sanded. Eventually, he and Nick went shopping for a few little extras including paint and stickers, and before you know it, his racing creation was ready to go. He was pretty proud of his little masterpiece, and I have to say, in all fairness, it was one of the best looking cars there.
If only the competition was about looks instead of speed! It was kind of like the rain gutter regatta all over again, although Spencer took his defeat much better this time. And, though his car didn't take first place, when you consider the number of cars participating, some even store bought, then you have to admit 5th place isn't the end of the world.
Maybe next year bud.
