Ethan and I got the wheels on our cars earlier this week and used some teflon powder to lube them up a bit. We didn't have a scale to check the weight so we left that till last minute when we got to the race. Some minor weight adjustments and borrowed some graphite from another racer and we checked in the cars, ready to go.
Here are the cars from the Tiger Cub Den.
Ethan's is the white one in the front row.
The event started with the Tiger Cub den. Each car raced 4 times and got points based on what place they were in each. The car with the fewest points was the winner to move on to the championships.
Ethan got a 1st, 3rd and 2 seconds for a total of 8 points, which meant 3rd place in the den, good enough for a ribbon!
My car raced in the "Dads" group. I was consistent at least. 4th place in each of 4 races. But my car looked good.
Ethan and I ran our cars down the track together .
