Pinewood Derby 2013

 Max's Subway car.
The crowd called it, the "Eat Fresh" car.
Max's car took first place.

Funny story:  
Max choose how he wanted it to be cut.  You can't see from the pictures but it has a downward angle that edges to the bottom of the car.  When they were trying to get the axles and wheels on, Britton was SO nervous that it was going to break.  It was so narrow they couldn't get the axles all the way in.  Britton was certain we were going to have a tragic day with this car.  It turns out... because the axles weren't flush, it created less friction, making a super fast car.  Max won every race.  It was almost funny.  Who knew!
 Benton's BYU car.
Took second place.
Gave Max a good run, but just couldn't beat him.
They had so much fun... but mostly racing against each other.
 The judges.
 The cheering crowd.
