No, not the Kentucky derby...the cub scouts Pinewood Derby!
This little gem, the red car, was Mac's 17 car.
The boys raced them down this track and there was medals awarded to the fastest car from each level (Mac's a Tiger cub, the youngest of Cub Scouts), to design and also to the fastest cars of all Cub Scouts.
Can you see the excitement on Mac's face at the end of the track? Mac and Nate sat down there for 3 hours...with a few breaks.
The racers got to sit in chairs at the end to see how their cars placed. Can you see Mac's is in the first position in this race?
He was very excited as he recounted the race with his buddies.
We're not sure, but we think Mac got second in his age group. He made the final heats anyway, which Mac was very happy about. Not bad for his first Pinewood derby...I have a feeling next year Sam and Mac might put a little more time into their calculations, seeing 17 race to the finish line was definitely bringing a twinkle to their eyes!
