We're #1

This is the three cars of the four from our family that participated in the Elderwood Derby. It was a bit of a bust in that there were a total of twelve cars for two classes (Stock and Modified) and four of them were ours. Our little half street was well represented however with five of the eight families participating coming from our little strip of heaven. It's no big surprise when you consider that our street houses the second concealer in the Bishopric, the Young Mens, Young Womens and Primary presidents as well as the Elders Quorum President and first councilor. The party was quite nice I think and those that were there had a good time or so they said. I handed out over a dozen cars to various people including two to the Hispanic family living just a block away but to no noticeable effect.
This is a picture of the championship race in the Modified division. You can see Pres. B starting his car "the kinetic energy accelerator" on it's way to a second place finish behind "The Silver Streak" of yours truly.

Yes, I won!

It was a surprise to me but I had rather thin competition. There were only three entrants in the Modified class; mine, Pres. B's, and a twelve year old who's car was just over weight for the Stock class. We took the Winner of the Stock class and had him race with us in the Modified class to have an even number of contestants. He just so happened to be the little brother of the twelve year old and managed to beat his older brother to place third in the Mod. class.

I think that there would have been more participation if we had done this in the dead of winter instead of the dead of spring when all hell is breaking loose.

P.S. Congrats Magdoggs!
