Introducing The Rooster...
If you're wondering about the "windshield" it's actually a little trick. Designing the car is fun, but if you're in it to win it, which in our family is a foregone conclusion, then the most import element to your vehicle is weight. The more your car weighs, the faster it goes. When you weigh in, you only have a brief period of time to make adjustments. Enter DrT's miracle enhancer, Golfer's Edge Lead Weight Tape. That's right, my husband is brilliant. Some people might have suspected it before, but I think this seals the deal. When put back on the scale The Rooster came up to 5.0 oz, exactly the limit.
Third Place in his division (thanks Daddy!), we can count it as another Pinewood Derby success. Back at home and exhausted (maybe that was just me) Rett said "Wow, that was a really fun day! When do we get to do it again?!" Thank goodness the Derby only comes around once a year.
We only had a quick second to snap a picture, and as luck would have it someone else's flash washed out my guy. I need to figure out how to correct this in Photoshop. Who knows and wants to help me?
