BIG RACE TODAY, Special News Report

Stevie's car waits in the "official" line up box for the next round of races to start.

Stevie and Daddy apply graphite to the wheel axles to give the car a little more ZOOM!

Stevie and Daddy show off the third place and 1st place trophies.

Stevie's car is just about to cross the finish line for the 1st place finish!

Stevie K. (My Kolega) had entered his car for the Boy Cub Scouts Great Derby Race. There were about 20 entrants. Stevie worked on his car with his daddy (Koy) for a lot of hours. They cut out the car from the block of wood, then they sanded and painted and added wheels. They had a trial run and it looked good. On Race Day Saturday Jan 16, 2010 Stevie couldn't wait to run his car. Guess what place he took? FIRST PLACE! His car got 1st place in his category. Then he raced his car against all the other cars of the scouts and he got third place in that. Not bad for his first try at this Derby Racing.*****


Stevie’s car is black with flames on the front end.
Stevie took 1st place among all the Tiger scouts in his Den (all first year derby entrants).
He took 3rd place overall in the whole pack, where he raced against scouts who’ve been racing cars in derby races for up to four years (plus any additional experience from dads and older brothers).

FYI, it’s uncommon (but not unheard of) for a Tiger scout to place (1st, 2nd or 3rd) of the whole pack, so for Stevie to win 3rd place overall is a BIG thing!

Congratulations to you Stevie, on a terrific race and a great car. It paid off all that hard work you put into making this car. Keep up the great work.
