The boys had a blast at the Pinewood Derby. Their "cars" did well. Since they were in the 'open' class there were no standings or awards. After the regular cub scouts derby they opened up the track to whoever else wanted to race. They actually had 1 heat where it was just Jakes "Bullet Bill" against Cougars "Fighter Jet Car". Bullet Bill won by a hair. The boys got to see a whole lot of different designs in Derby cars. One kid painted his block like Spongebob. No cutting required. Another kid made his block into a pile of bricks. It actually ran pretty fast. Our neighbor made a car with a shape of a hand reaching for a cookie. Its name was "Give me back my cookie." I wish I had a picture of that one. It was pretty cool. All in all we had lots of fun and I think they will be excited to do it again next year.

The cars turned out great! Glad they had a good time.
I'm looking forward to seeing you this weekend!
My son also wants to build a "Bullet Bill" pinewood car for our pack's upcoming derby. Although my son and husband have built 2 cars previously, my husband is curious about building up the sides of the car so that they can be wider than the tires. Do you have any construction tips?
Hi, I am sorry to use your blog for this...but Where did you find the Bullet Bill eyes & arms stickers??
My son is also making one for his pinewood derby and I can't find them anywhere...thank you, jennifer
