This is the first year we have done pinewood derby. My dad came down and helped Brenden build his car and Nathan Johansen put the weights in it for him. You would think because Merrial is an engineer that he would be all into this, but he isn't. I guess Nathan is the one that did all of Merrial's cars when he was younger.
Brenden's car is the black one with flames in the first lane.
He came in 2nd place in his den, which is not bad for a first timer. It makes it so we have room to improve for next year. Now that we know what we are kind of doing we might get even better next year. But he had a lot of fun racing, even though he was still sick I let him go for an hour. I felt bad he worked so hard on getting this car done, I couldn't make him miss it.
Here he is with his trophy for 2nd place in his den, you can tell he just isn't himself. He looks like he doesn't feel good, poor baby. He is very proud that he got 2nd, good for him.
