Pinewood Derby 2012

Tyson's little car did well this year, though it did worry us at first. His car was in the very first heat and lost. Luckily, the races were double-elimination, which gave Tyson's car (he nicknamed it The Stripe) one of more shot. When The Stripe was placed atop the shiny racetrack the second time, the graphite worked its magic and Tyson's car flew down the track. He began to win over and over again. In the end, he took fourth place–not too shabby. Tyson modeled, sanded, painted and assembled the car himself. So proud.
