Josh's 2nd pinewood derby

Josh made a scale out of plastic spoons, to weigh his car. He knew how many coins could be added to his car to total 5 ounces (thanks to the post office scale), so he weighed other metal pieces on his spoon scale to add just the right amount.

Josh and Rachel helped make these cars...


Everyone received a very cool car stand! Josh designed his car after a Star Wars star ship called Delta 7 Athersprite. He got 5th place overall. (Not too bad when you know that the first place car was re-used from last year, after winning first place last year.) But Josh had fun designing and painting his triangle-shaped car and is already planning next year's car.
