Gotta get the wheel axels smooth so they'll roll easier!
Look at the tongues! Like father like son. :)
Lookin' Good! 
How's the weight?
Finished and proud of the end result!!
Good job, guys!!
The official weigh-in. At home, the scale said the car was 4.5 oz.At the derby, the scale said 6.5.
Ooops
Removing some of the weight...like the AA battery Max imbedded into the center of the car.
Had to remove the Legos driver too.
:(
Inigo performed his first flag ceremony. 
Ready for the first race...

Out of 10 or 11 heats, Inigo only lost two. The second race he lost because the weights fell out of the bottom of his car in the middle of the race and stopped him dead on the tracks.
We're so proud!! Way go to, Buddy!

YAY for boy scouts! I must say that after four boys and what seemed like a million pinewood derby cars, I'm very happy to be DONE. :)
