He got 4th place in his first pinewood derby race and made sure to beat that ugly car beside him!

That looks better! Thanks for posting the pic this time. Congrats to him.
I remember doing that during cubscouts. Mine was always super slow.

In Boy Scouts, I made one with my dad the exact same shape as the Ole Miss one and dominated everybody. I didn't actually do any work, but I definitely took all the credit

I live in Mississippi and the Ole Miss car was definitely the crowd favorite so I know my son was especially glad he beat that car!
You could totally tell that a lot of the dads did the entire car. There was a one car with a carved (in the wood) open swiss army knife on top! There were over 20 cars so my son was happy to finish high being that it was his first time.
