The Confraternity of Derby Dads and Boys

Rod Dreher (aka the Crunchy Con) shares his experience with getting ready for his son's Pinewood Derby.

He then posted this summary. Power to ya, bro'!

Then he shares this follow-up with a long response from another of his readers.

Finally, there was this nice article in the Greensboro N&R forwarded from Uncle David.

The number of comments is testimony to how many of us approach Derby Day with enough baggage to fill the Hogwarts Express. Libby and joked that I, like Rod, would probably be better qualified to teach a proper Bechamel sauce than anything involving wood and tools. My dad remembered building a few cars with me and Greg; no idea where they ever wound up. He was a far better craftsman than I'll ever be; I'm sure those old cars looked great and won lots.
