We made it through our first Derby Race. The kids had a blast cheering on their cars and watching them fly down the track. Lainey had a blast running wild around the hall and giving her poor Mom a horrible migraine :(
Little did she know she had the best seat in the house, too bad she only lasted there for 5 minutes.
There sure were some pretty cool looking cars. This Derby stuff if serious and it looks like a lot of time was spent making these cars just right.
There was a total of 29 races. Landon's car was a little slower, coming in 5-6 place every time. Michael's car was a little quicker coming in around 3-4 place each time.
Each boy got a medal, shown around Michael's neck, for participating in the race. Michael received a plaque for Judges Fancy.
Overall it was a great experience for the boys. They learned how to design, and put together their own cars. And most importantly learned that not everyone can get the grand trophy, but there is always next year to try again.
