Illegal Wheels on our Pinewood Derby Car

9:37 AM the day of the Pinewood Derby here is Evan's car: (they bought at kit off a website so it came pre-cut and sanded but they did give it several light coats of paint earlier this week): Looks like there is still a lot to do before the start flag goes up at 1:00 today!
10:54, following some assistance from Daddy and Papa (Papa's hat) here is the finished Pinewood Derby car of 2010!!! Looks awesome Evan!
They arrived on time, got the weight right and now they're ready to roll.
AND here's....
NADA. Nothing. Nunca.
The car started down the track 3 separate times and NEVER, not once, crossed the finish line! It did look good though!
So, Evan and Daddy arrive home and I asked, "So how did it go?" (remembering last year that Evan and his Vette placed Second in his Den) John BUSTED out laughing and said "It didn't even finish. I dono what happened, I even took all the weight off at one point, thinking the drag was too much, and it STILL didn't get near the finish line." Then Evan chimes in, "Yeah Mom it was fun. I didn't care that it didn't finish." (with a big smile on his face and a medium Grandy's Sweet Tea in hand)
Maybe next year boys. It IS a GREAT looking car!
