On Saturday was the District-level Pinewood Derby. The top three racers from each troop competed together in it. There were 55 racers in all.
The District race was pretty high-tech. It was all computerized, so they were able to track each racers' time, and also post the place it took in the race. Each car raced six times, once in each lane, and the times were recorded. They then averaged out those six scores to determine the overall winners.
Ethan's car took first place in each of his six races. We were all pretty excited to see his times up on the board, and were on pins and needles waiting to see how they compared with the other boys'.
Ethan ended up taking third place overall, and even got a trophy!!! We were all completely thrilled. After his success, Eric is now thinking of planning another Elder's Quorum Pinewood Derby. Once these boys get the bug, watch out!!
