The Boy Scouts of America Gulf Coast Council had their District Pinewood Derby competition today at the National Museum of Naval Aviation. Jacob placed second in his division two weeks ago for his pack, earning him a spot in the district races. For the past two weeks Jake and I have been making "modifications" to our car in an attempt to make it faster. Believe it or not, there are all kinds of secrets, from polishing the wheels and axles, using graphite to lubricate the hubs to weight placement and wheel placement. The district races had over 70 cars registered in Jakes division. Cars were raced 2 at a time in a double elimination format. Well, Jake's car won 8 races in a row and took home the first place trophy. Awesome job Jake! I believe Jake may continue on and be racing in Tallahassee in a few weeks. We will keep you updated.
