For Scouts this year they did the "Space Derby" instead of the Pinewood Derby. Jon and Max used a potato peeler to shape the wood which was soft and very lightweight. We didn't know what we were doing, just like our first year of Pinewood Derby so Max's rocket did not do very well. Jon had to teach class in the evening that night and I didn't know how to wind it. Grandpa got there later so that helped a little but his rocket only went about 5 feet down the string. A lot of people had trouble with it.
Max still had fun and won the "Bumble Bee Rocket" award.
