Lightning McQueen vs. The Hudson Hornet

Our pack's Pinewood Derby was held this morning
and Soren was ready to race!

Kelly spent days helping Soren get his car cut, sanded and painted; the wheels running smooth with graphite; and the weight just right- 5 ounces exactly! Soren chose to make his car look like Lightning McQueen. Kelly was patient with Soren, who is not real good at sticking to a task or following directions, and let Soren do a lot of the work. He didn't place but his car raced well until his final heat against the cars that did place.

It was fun to see the open races- boy scouts and dads had made cars or brought old ones to race with the Cub Scouts while scoring was being done. Jason Bradford, our bishopric counselor over Scouts, and two of his boys, Tyler and Caleb, made a Hudson Hornet which raced against Soren's Lightning McQueen. Soren's car won but the boys, young and old, had fun cheering and watching their cars run down the track.

As a leader, it wasn't a great pack meeting. But the boys had a blast and that is what matters. After racing in the Pinewood Derby, we are now off and racing through the other activities and jobs that Saturday brings. Ready. Set. GO!
