This was the first year that Seth entered the Grand Prix race. It was lots of fun!
He designed his car and Jesse showed him how to use the tools. He made his car completely by himself and did an awesome job.
Sanding the car...
Drilling holes into the car to hold his weights...
Painting the car... He turned his car into a wedge shape, so he had to cut off the top part of it. The top part that got cut off was actually big enough to make another car, so he gave to Luke.
Sanding the axles...
The finished product... (those are lightning bolts and flames!)
Waiting for the race to begin (the blur in front of Seth is Luke)...
On your mark, get set
Go! (round number one)
Go! (round number 2- each car raced several times in order to make sure that they all competed against each other)
Watching one of the other races.. The kids had lots of fun sitting in the floor cheering the cars on. I was afraid Luke would reach out and grab one of the cars as it went by, but he didn't. Whew!
Here it comes again!
Last round! It was a close race!
Seth showed great sportsmanship and we were very proud of him!
