Lo's World

I've never been to a pinewood derby and I don't recall our boys being involved in it either. I'm sure I would've remembered slicing, cutting, sanding, painting and racing. But the Sim-boy is in Cubbies and made a lovely red and gold racer. Hmm. Did not get a picture of that, so I'll have to put that in later.

 It's later.

 Naturally if big bro get his picture taken, lil bro has to have a picture too!

One would think that a race featuring hand-made wooden race cars would be low tech. Nothing could be further from the truth. The course was put together by an engineer and an airline pilot.    

The visuals were run by someone else, maybe SIL R knows the vocation of that techie. But inspite of the cameras pointed at the finish line and the straight run and their projections on the wall including the a very large projection of all the stats, someone made sure that the nascar/indy flavor had a physical presence.  How can you have a race without car oil banners?

Can't you just feel the excitement? The roars and cheers of the crowd?
