My son took first in the county finals

 

Very cool. Congratulation to your boy.

Very nice, congrats to your son. The car looks like a Shelby Cobra

It is a Shelby cobra

 

I like the decals on the side. Definitely shows you took a little extra time to "dress" it up. Is the "Snake" on the side supposed to be a Don "The Snake" Prudhomme reference?

Congratulations. My son just had his first Pinewood derby ever, he's already planning for next year.

Yeah this was Josh's first. We may use the same car next year but tweak it a little. Do internal weights.

 

The snake references were needed. I thought it made it look more like a race car. Especially since he is involved with Shelby now.

Plus let's face it my 9 year old can paint a car blue but I doubt he could get racing stripes perfect. We used actual car paint too. Ford true blue.

Nice !!! I can't wait until my boys are at that stage

Awesome car.

 

That trophy is bigger than the one I won, 20 years ago, lol.

Congrats to You & your Son from an Eagle Scout Dad!

 

My Son's car went with him to Iowa. It's something that he remains proud of to this day! He got a job out there as an Engineer, designing "Tonka Toys".

 

That trophy looks bigger than him! Nice uniform too! Is he 1st yr. or second year Webelo? I hope he continues with Scouting and becomes an Eagle himself.

 

Congrats again to the entire family!

1st year so next year we have to win it again. I myself was a life scout but left scouting when high school football took up my time.

Congrats! Scouting always represented a fun time for me with my kids. My middle son won the Finals in Bergen County many years ago. Your son's grin is priceless. I'll never forget the look on my son's face when he posed for his picture in the local paper.
