I wish I could say it went exactly as we'd hoped. Owen's car (at least from our perspective) was the handsomest car there. Turns out, though, his Tiger Den has some real gearheads who designed some of the (and indeed the) fastest cars of the race day.
Owen's car came in 4th of the four boys in his Den, but, looking at the times from the rest of the day, finished somewhere in the middle when it came to the entire Pack.
So he did OK. But it was still a disappointment.
After we talked about it, we had a good time cheering on the other boys, particularly Owen's friend Isaac, whose car won the event. Owen took away a trophy for participating and we, of course, still have the snazziest Hawkeye pinewood derby car in Central Illinois to play with around the house.
We're still proud of you for all your hard work, Owen.
