The third year was not the charm. My son came in 21st out of 41 cars this year. I think it was a good thing, though. He didn’t put a lot of effort into his pinewood derby car this time around so his middle-of-the-pack ranking really reinforced how important it is to spend some time designing an awesome car. He’s got one more year to try so our fingers are crossed he will come home with a trophy in 2016!
As, too bad. And you are right, next year he definitely has to get his game on if he wants to win. Good luck to him.
It’s fine. He knew he wasn’t going to do that well this year since he didn’t put a lot of effort into it. Honestly, making it to the regionals 3 years in a row is an accomplishment in itself. 🙂
It definitely is a great accomplishment.
I’m sorry!
He’s determined to try better next year!
