PINEWOOD DERBY CAR SHOWCASE
Some pinewood derby cars that aren't cars. Little Red Wagon - Jeremy Isaac
This was my daughter's car for the AWANA Grand Prix this past year. It placed 3rd in Speed and 1st in Novelty.
Liebherr LTM 1095 5.1 Mobile Crane - Robert Knapp
As a scout leader I like to show the boys what is possible with a block of wood. I got my inspiration for this year's car when I passed one of these driving on the interstate. The boys loved it! I could not count the times I heard the word cool!
Banana Mobile - Christine DuVal
This is the "Banana Mobile" that I made for the leaders race at our Awana Grand Prix earlier this month (January 2011). I made it for fun, not for speed, but I was pleasantly surprised at how well it did! It beat pretty much all other cars except for a few wedges that were definitely built for speed. And to answer the question I know you are dying to ask... No, I did not have help from my husband, I did it all myself :-)
