Each boy is given a piece of wood with building specifications, including a weight limit. 

Using their unique skills and personalities, each boy creates his racing car for the competition. Krew's age division had 11 competitors this year.

I love seeing the variety of the cars!

Each car runs in four heats on all of the different lanes while the boys watch.

We are talking 2 1/2 seconds for a run...all electronically timed....

...with results instantaneously showing up on the computer. Amazing! In this heat, less than .08 seconds separated first from last place!

But what I love most is the comraderie between the boys. They are all rooting for each other; it's truly friendly competition between friends.

Always a fun day for the Trail Life families too!
