It has been 10 years since I last participated in a pinewood derby race, and I was feeling nostalgic and decided to go and take pictures of them. Someday I'm going to build a track.
We were always a little weird compared to our peers in that we actually wanted to design the car after a real car. Not that it ended up that way (although the older we got, the better it was).
This is all of mine and my brothers. 5 Trophies, 3 first places, one second, and one fourth.
My first car. It was modeled after the Ford Indigo concept, and I thought that it needed to be called a Lamborghini Trans Am.
This one actually wasn't modeled after any particular car, but it was supposed to be an Indian Guides Race Car; feathers and leather.
My third year racing. This was about when the Z3 first came out; I knew what I wanted to make it look like. I thought I did a good job considering I had a block of wood to work with. This was the fastest car we made; it was the fastest by FAR out of the field. In the last race, it hits a bump, comes in last, and my brother takes the first place trophy.
My last year in the races. Lamborghini Diablo, of sorts. I really liked the exhaust pipes on this. This took first.
This was the last car I made, three years after I was out of Indian Guides. Its not finished, but its pretty good. Jaguar D-Type. I love this car.
but I still have my cars, they're sitting on the shelf right above my computer.
