Going out on a high note!

After two boys and 7 years of Cub Scouts, it's over. My youngest son crossed over on the 19th. Not before finishing our 7th Pack race. Here is how we fared over the last 7 years (V is my oldest son, S is my youngest son)
2005: V 1st place
2006: V 1st Place
2007: V 1st Place, S 2nd Place
2008: S 1st Place, V 2nd Place
2009: S 1st Place, V 2nd Place
2010: S 1st Place
2011: S 1st Place

Cub Scouts was tons of fun, but the Derby was the highlight each year.

This year, I was challenged by a local reporter to a race. John Marks from the Lake Wylie Pilot came out to race against me. The article turned out great. There's some good racing footage, too. Here's a link to the article:

I was extremely proud of my youngest son this year. I did very little on his car this year. If I had to guess, he did about 95% of it this year. Most of what I did was support and guide.

Thanks so much for all the camaraderie and speed tips over the years.

One more race left: Districts in April!

That's great! Congratulations for doing so well. Hope the kids enjoyed it as much as you seemed to have.

Cool article on the derby and the people, not sure about the video.
