Matthew got to build his first Pinewood Derby car. He was really excited. He chose the shape and helped cut and sand it. Then he picked paint colors and painted it (with help from Dad). He named the car "Tricky" at Megan's suggestion. It was number 28 since that is his favorite number.
He placed second in his wolf den out of two but the racers were very close. When they did a run off at the end for all the pack he actually came in third overall. Because he was in the top 2 in his den, he was able to progress to the stake competition. His car got first in one of the races in the stake competition. It was a lot of fun to build and race the car.
U still had an old pinewood derby car of his so they brought it to the meet and they let Matthew race it. Tricky won the race handily.

What a fun experience from planning and cutting and painting and racing. Congrats Matthew!
