Eli had Pinewood Derby today. When I asked him if he wanted a car that looked cool or one that would win, he said he wanted both. Of course.
He selected an ambulance; Eli was most impressed with the word ambulance on the hood of the car, reversed just like in real life, so it reads correctly in your rear-view mirror. It looked pretty cool, and it did okay in the races.
Eli came in third in his den (Webelos). He raced 4 times and placed 3rd, 2nd, 2nd, 1st. His fasted time was 2.48 seconds, an equivalency of 199.3 mph.
It was enough to allow him to move on to the Council race (first time Pack 50 has ever participated in that), one of ten boys to move on. It will be a race with 300 cars. Pray for us!
