On Tuesday May 12th Isaac competed in his first Pine Wood Derby race as a Wolf Cub Scout. Ray and Isaac had worked on his car long and hard and were ready to see how fast it could go. Even Syrus had joined in the fun with his own derby car. Ray would show Isaac how to do something to the car by first demonstrating it on Syrus's car and then have Isaac copy him. Ray did save Isaac the trouble and painted the car himself. The day before the race I went to check out the cars. I guess Syrus thought the paint job wasn't quite right and decided to paint over it. So Ray had to re sand the car and then re-paint it. Isaac car was a leading contender in all of the heat races. His car seemed to come in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd many times. His car finally finished with the 4th place trophy! He receive a hand carved race car driver bolo-tie to where with his uniform. He was SO excited and can't wait till next year. After all the races Syrus got to test his car out and raced it against Isaac's and the other scouts. His car was also really fast.
