After getting to the activity David and his buddies had a practice run and one of the wheels fell off! John rushed home to get his tools and got the wheels back on. It didn’t sit evenly after that and was only on three wheels. When it was David’s turn, David, John, and I were all thinking he wouldn’t win a single race, but he won! And he kept on winning!

John helped him tape them back on and David won the entire Pinewood Derby. John weighed it at home out of curiosity and it was still under the allowed weight.
