Our ward held a pinewood derby activity where there were no rules except that the car had to fit on the track and it could not be motorized. Some of the men in the ward took the lack of rules to the limit. One guy made his car entirely from lead!! It won, of course, because it was a zillion times heavier than everyone else's.
The kids had a blast making it. My brother-in-law, Matt was visiting from Texas and he helped the kids get the car made and painted. He is very handy so the car turned out much nicer than if we had attempted to make a car. The kids designed it to be the "bumble bee". Our car made it a couple of rounds and then was smoked by the heavy cars. It was fun for the family and to have the cousins here for the week.
