Brennan's Last Pinewood Derby

Here's Brennan's last pinewood derby car! It's hard to believe he's almost done with cubs! He did a fabulous job and won his den's race and placed 2nd overall! It was a very close race and it happen to be against the same boy from last year. Brennan was a good sport, but rather upset that he found out the boys used other wheels than from BSA. We are very proud of him and he was very kind and showed great sportsmanship to the winner despite his disappointment.
This time of the year was extremely busy for us and poor Brennan's paint job went a little haywire... thanks to late night paint jobs and VERY COLD temperatures. Spray paint just doesn't do well when it freezing outside. In the end, OPI red nail polish came to the rescue to fix the stripes that the tape didn't hold on.
Anxiously waiting!
Watching intently during one of the races... Brennan's car went so fast that it shot off the end of the track the first two times down - after that, he was sure to be there to catch it each time!
