Corbin had his first Pinewood Derby! He was so excited to be able to design his own car. Corb and Jon spent a full day designing the Pindewood Derby. Corbin drew a picture of what he wanted it to look like, and then Jon spent a long time carving it. The car had to weigh approximately 5 ounces. Jon drilled holes in the bottom of the car, and filled them with lead. Yes, we were all standing around as fumes from the lead filled the air. We like living on the edge:) Corbin painted the car blue, painted on some black eyes and then gave Turbo Shark some killer black teeth. The car still wasn't up to weight so Jon added two fully loaded bullets to the car. One on each side to look like jet engines. This is how the car got it's name "Turbo Shark!" Although Turbo Shark didn't come out a winner, he still won the award for the most original car:) Good job Corbin, and thanks to dad for his creative ideas!
