pflaming Posted March 17, 2013 Report Posted March 17, 2013 Lost a days work on the truck to help the grandkids with their pinewood derby cars. I'm certain all or most of you have done the same. 1 Quote
JIPJOBXX Posted March 17, 2013 Report Posted March 17, 2013 Grandpa did you give your grandkids a chance to work on the cars? I ran the Pinewood Derby when my kids were in Cub Scouts and you really could tell which parent or grandparents took charge ! I even had the track at home and tried to get my boys cars to run as fast as they could. But the only thing wrong my boys were twins and one would haft to loose and there with laid the problem. Never did get that one figured out but we still have those old cars in the backroom and I think we just got ribbons as there cars were not the top of the line for looks! Jon Quote

pflaming Posted March 17, 2013 Author Report Posted March 17, 2013 We weren't very fast, but we won two most original trophies, the grand kids were pleased. Quote
