Gal's First Pinewood Derby

"tardy for the party" making its way to buddy system studios. we are on time.

stiff competition in the racers' holding zone.

buddettes registering racers and guarding uber-cool winnebago trophies.

zee ramp of awesomeness...

ends with a photo finish!

we raced our hearts out and won our first heat! sorry to say, we lost the rest. guess johnson and johnson's baby oil can't replace a nice shot of nitrous... next time!

Liberace

um, if we ever have a boy, le wife (that'd be me) will have to leave le boy scout pinecar derby stuff to le husband. i mean, look at what I did. the once-masculine block of wood is now encrusted in girly sparkles and topped with a penguin. it poops sparkles as it drives by. poor glue job. tsk-tsk-tsk.

well, in case you missed the memo, le wife (moi) is participating in next weekend's buddy system studios' pinewood derby bbq jamboree. (heck, doesn't that sound like fun?!) i think i may name my car after kim zolciak's song "tardy for the party". (kim is a "real" housewife from atlanta. the song will give you nightmares. google it if you dare.) that or "liberace"...

Zoom-Zoom Suckas!

will be participating in my first pinewood derby (being hosted by the fellas at buddy system studios) on october 2nd. i envision a sequin-encrusted vehicle zoom-zooming into victory!!! er, yeah. no. i've never built one of these things before and quite frankly, i'm still quite green when it comes to this fabrication stuff. going for title of "slowest jalopy". calling all former boyscouts. got tips?
