"Another Year of Pinewood Derby Car"

Jeremy loves helping Andre with all the Cub Scout projects. Some of them are more fun than others but he always is willing to do it with his son. This year they had a lot of fun making this good looking derby car "Death Racer". They put armour on the windows and a gatling gun on the front. I'm always impressed on what one can make with a piece of plain wood and some creativity.

A Jeremy le encanta ayudar a Andre con los projectos the Cub Scout. Algunos de ellos son mas divertidos que otros pero el siempre esta dispuesto a hacerlos con su hijo. Este ano ellos hicieron un carro muy bonito al que nombraron Death Racer". Le pusieron armadura en las ventanas y una arma en el frente. Siempre me impresiono lo que uno puede hacer con un pedazo de madera y creatividad.

Unfortunately, we didn't take pictures of the block of wood that they started in the beginning.

Desafortunadamente no tomamos fotos del pedazo de madera con el que se empezo.They used paper clips to make the gatling gun.
Here are the cars that competed in the race. The boys have the opportunity to have their cars race about 8 times. Andre's won first place a few of them. It was hard to beat the fastest ones :o) Los ninos tienen la oportunidad de competir unas 8 veces. El carro de Andre gano el primer lugar algunas de estas. Fue dificil superar los mas rapidos :o)
