Pinewood Derby

Cade and Carter decided to have a football theme for their cars. Carter's represent the New England Patriots. Cade's honors his favorite player, Brett Favre of the Minnesota Vikings. Cade's car was a little heavy and while a hole was being drilled into the bottom of his car, the bit caught the weight and blew it out the back of the car. With some glue and duct tape, the back of the car and one wheel was re-attached just in time for the race.

Carter and Cade can hardly control their emotions as they show off their 1st place trophies.
