I have fond memories of my own PWD as a kid, but things have definitely changed since then.. it’s much more “high tech” than I remember, and the after-market for car parts, designs, tools, books, etc. is incredible. You can easily spend tons of money (and time!) getting your car built. Anyway, our Pack (Grafton 106) has a separate “Parents and Siblings” race too, so we decided to do cars for Rebecca, Amanda, and me. We did pretty much everything together (I handled all of the dangerous and/or very tricky stuff for them) and had a lot of fun both designing and building the cars. It’s been a very busy few weeks from start to finish! Weigh-in is tonight, and I hope we’ve kept all of them in the neighborhood of 5.0 ounces.

I underestimated the amount of time Amanda’s would take, though, so it’s not pictured above, and I’m not sure she’ll get to race it. But I don’t think she really cares, either – as long as she ends up with a “cool yellow car!” she’ll be happy. When I’m done with it, hopefully by Saturday, I’ll put a picture of it up here.
