Our youngest made this one when she was 8 for a school soapbox derby. That was 26 years ago. I treasure it.

It is cool you do that with your kids. Trust me it will be Grand and Great Grand kids before you know what happened.

Re: Time to retire from the Pinewood Derby

Re: Time to retire from the Pinewood Derby
, You and your kids make some beautiful Pinewood Derby cars! I really like your semi, your son's General-Lee, and your daughter's Jeep, as well as your youngest son's Speed-Racer Mach 5 . The Pinewood Derby was probably my favorite part of Cub-Scouts after this post I think I'm gonna go check out mine and my dad's cars .Casey
