Great day at the races today.
1st and 2nd Overall in the Derby:
The one boy and his Hot Dog car went for a Design Award (you can't have both speed and best design in our Pack), so we entered the hot dog car at 4.3 ounces. This is an exercise in 'friction' vs. 'weight' as an influential factor, and friction reduction won out, hands down. The hot dog came in 2nd Overall in the Speed Division...at 4.3 ounces! FS, we used puffy paint for the mustard. Like what you'd see on girls t-shirts when they do crafts at home. Got it at Hobby Lobby.

My Den:
Overall, we won 6 trophies, and came in 1st in every Division we entered (except my twin with the hot dog car who always has to race his brother, so one boy will always come in 2nd). The reason you don't see the 6th trophy is because I elected to go to the race administrator before the scoring commenced, and I took my own orange 'back from the dead' car out of trophy consideration. I was really just racing an adult car for fun, and wanted some other boy (or adult) to have a chance for a trophy in the 'Open' Division race. So technically we swept 1st in every division we entered, including 1st Overall for our second straight year.
...and yes Whoda, Cowabunga was the Grand Champion at the cattle auction. 1st Place in Pack.
Good day at the races.
