Ryan was so nervous during the finals. And he was so proud of himself when he won.
The other cool thing is Ben won the judges award for design and craftsmanship. He built the car himself, so that was awsome!

I did knock the burs off the axles and use graphite. Our pack does not allow any other modifications.

Here's ben's car. He did all the work himself, including using a router to make the bed. He won "Best Scout Themed" car, and he also won the "Judges Choice" award. He's very proud of his craftsmanship...as he should be 8)

Haha. I'm not one of those dads. They do 90% of the work, but I set the axles 😈

Nice job guys. 😀

I still have my car from when i was a kid. had a ton of fun building it. Seeing those bring back memory's.

Love the fact the two cars are so different from each other. would have never thought of doing a truck. Super Cool.
