Chad and Cole made a great team. Chad did the research and then Cole put that research into action.
Chad found some designs and Cole picked out the one that he liked best. Cole picked the colors and painted the car (with just a little touching up by his Mom when he wasn't looking!).
Then, they sanded the wheels and axles and applied lots of graphite.
Then, they tested the wheels and repeated the process.
Who knew a Pinewood Derby car was so time-consuming and MESSY!
The final product, known as the Coco Wave. (This was because it looked like a wave and it was in honor of cousin Coco. Cole used his football number and the Spanish Fork colors in his design.)
The finished product with the proud creator.
The proud creator on race night, with a little more weight added.
The Wolf Den posed for a picture together before the big races started.
Finally, it was time to race!
Almost too slow on the camera! But I did barely catch the blurs as they went by.
Waiting for the cars to come
The Coco Wave was the first across the line.
Cole was very careful with his car between rounds! It was a definite treasure.
After many rounds, the winner of the Wolf den (and 2nd place overall) is....Cole Gwilliam.
The spoils of victory.
Well done Cole! (And Chad!)
