For those of you that do not have a resident boy scout up in da house ... The Pinewood Derby is a race of the fittest and finest of boy scout and parent fortitude.
Boys and their Dads (or Moms, Grandpas, Uncle Doug-Bob-Joes) spend some quality time together designing, cutting and painting a regulation car to eventually race for the prize against other boy scout contestants in their pack or den.
For some, this is crazed competition and tension is high. We are sort of middle-roaders on this. I know that we Murphys can become fierce
(S-O-C-C-E-R, ya'll), but this is a much more calm sport and that is, of course, the way it should be, after all. I mean - ya can't run head on at everything like a lunatic banshee jacked up on Red Bull & Starbucks ... right? Right? Right.
This is Miles' car...
and Owen's ...
These are the early stages, of course. Soon they will be macked-out with all sorts of Pinewood Derby regulation bling - both to win and to wow the spectators. Standby for updated shots of these fantastical cars.
