Meet iCar the latest in Pinewood Derby cars. Mason invented this little fella to scale of my iphone. It turned out to be a cute little thing, and pretty fast too. It even sports the camera on the back side.
He also received his Bear Award tonight – that is why he has red paint on his cheeks. He is quite a happy Cub Scout, it is one of his favorite things to do every week! He won the “Most Unusual” Award of the night.
He commented on how one of the boys must have thought that the pinewood derby is all about winning. When we asked him what it is about he said, “learning about sportsmanship, and having fun building a car”. We have to thank the “Down and Derby” movie he has been watching (thanks Grandma B) to help reinforce what we’ve tried to teach.
He definitely had fun coming up with his idea (he saw a larger version on the internet, he modified it to make it his own) and was a great sport.

In some ways that icar may be a better communication device than the real phone.

Wonderful Car Mason. You and your dad are a great team. I always loved the pinewood derby. Especially the making of the car and the time with my dad. Keep up the great work. I am glad to hear that the red stuff was paint. I was thinking you were getting a few victory kisses from the fans.
