Pinewood Derby



That's DER BEE not DAR BEE.
My son is in The Boy Scouts Of America and recently took part in their annual Pinewood Derby car race.
Basically you are given a lump of wood and four wheels with which you have to make a race 'car'.
He decided he wanted to make Optimus Prime and whilst I warned him a truck is not exactly aerodynamic I had to admit it was a great idea.
Here's his effort which I of course 'helped' him make.
He didn't come first but for sure his was the coolest which is all his proud father wanted anyway.
