Every year the AWANA club Evelyn attends does a "Grand Prix", where kids build their own wooden racer and have a big "race day" to show them off. It is a big deal for clubbers, mostly because the kids themselves have to do most of the work. Evelyn wanted to make a car this year, and her and Doug both had a great time with this project!
Per the rules, Doug made her do most of the work, including using the drill press and other big tools. She did so great... and had a great teacher! She painted the entire thing all by herself, too.
43 cars were entered.. it was a fun day and the kids were really into it!
This track has electronic timing/speeds/stats that are a part of it. Pretty cool!
Evelyn's "Princess Convertable" (with a Cinderella polly pocket driving, of course!) won one of her three heats and at one time was in the top ten for average speed. She was so happy with her car and wants to "keep it always"! We are proud of her, her determination and her doing such a great job!!
