Evanstons Pinewood Derby


Devan was very excited when I told him he could participate in the Pinewood Derby this year. The pack leaders allowed him to race even though he is not quite eight. As you can tell he constructed his car after one of his favorite toy cars.

First you have to draw on the shape of your car, cut it out, do a lot of sanding, and then its ready to paint. There is a coat of primer and at least two coats of orange paint, along with a coat of sealant to make it shinny.
The end result is the Duke's of Hazard car. He was so excited to race his car. In many of the races he got second place. We are so excited for Devan to be joining scouts.
Here is Devan and his friend Scott getting ready to watch their car race down the track. Their faces just say it all in how much fun they are having.
