Dillon won the Pinewood Derby!!!! Can You Believe It???

Dillon Our Pinewood Derby Winner!!!! Jason and Dillon put a lot of time and thought into the car. Dillon drew up what he wanted it to look like and Jason cut it for him. Dillon sanded it and then Jason and Dillon both painted it. They were so proud of the car.
Taken before the races started.
Dillon and his dad waiting anxiously for Dillon's turn to race.
This is Dillon and Derrik waiting at the end of the track for there cars. Dillon had won every race and so had Derrik Weeks. So, after everyone had raced each other, it ended up being that Dillon had to race against Derrik, the other boy in 1st place. This was to be Derrick's last time doing the Pinewood Derby, as he is in the 5th grade and also his dad's last time too, with Derrik being his last son to do the Pinewood Derby. So his dad really wanted to win and they told Dillon that he was going down at the begining of the race. Dillon was funny and just said, "We'll See!" So this is the 1st race against Derrik and Dillon won. Then Dillon and Derrik had to race again and switched tracks.
And Dillon won Derrik again and then the Pinewood Derby was over and Dillon was the Big Winner!! We couldn't believe it. This was our first time doing the Derby and I thought it would be great if he could win at least one race, but didn't except him to win every race. I'm not sure how many boys he raced against, but there was about 10 races or more that he raced in. He was so excited. Now he gets to go to Nationals in February and race against the other 1st and 2nd place winners in the area. He can't wait!
