Ian was soooo excited for his first Pinewood Derby. He and Dad made "The Tadpole," a fast green spotted machine! The night before the race, the boys weighed in their cars and "parked" them on the table. On the race night, they picked them up and raced them down the track. Ian was lucky #20.
Here is the video of Ian's first run. His car was the fastest out of this group! The judges took the average time of 4 runs for each car.
The Tadpole didn't place in the overall top 3 fastest times, but it did win first place out of Ian's wolf den. Ian's average time was 2.62 seconds. The winning time was 2.45 seconds.

Sadly, Dad was unable to attend due to work commitments, but Grandpa drove all the way up from SLC to spend the evening with us. Thanks, Grandpa!

Hi Ian. It was great to come up for the big Pinewood Derby. You have a very fast car. Plus it is "Green" (very energy efficient!)
You did a great job building it and tuning it up. I thought the "bullet" car would be the fastest, but you whizzed right past it!
It will be fun to keep that car and run it against next year's car to see which is faster. Great job with those wheels, they were FAST!
