Derby Time

It is that time of year when the scouts gather to race their cars down the track.  Actually, the derby isn't until tomorrow night.  We have only had the car kit for a few days and today instead of coming in and doing math I figured I needed to cut out Andy's design.  So I might have done it all. We had to move on it and I really had no other time so I cut it out, sanded it and shot it with a primer.  When I got home from my class I had Andy come check it out and he settled on black for the color.  We shot it with the black.  A while later I shot it with a gloss and then I borrowed a hair dryer from Natty sped up the drying process.  Once that was done Andy decided to go with the number 8.  His car is the 8 ball but that is not what he is calling it.  I think he said black lightening.  It is a pretty cool rig.  Hopefully it will do well on the track.  We don't have wheels mounted yet and we might be just a hair light.  I have some options to get us there weight wise but they are kind of ugly.  I might have to see what kind of fancy weights I can buy tomorrow afternoon so we can finish it up and be ready for the race.  Either that or we will super glue some loose change on it.  Looking forward to the big race and hoping we have a better car than last year.  I think we will.
