Derby Day

Race day was yesterday. Our first race day, in fact. In preparation, E and Wonderboy gave the car several coats of laquer, installed tail lights and racing stripes. They lubed axels, checked wheels, and coached the driver (Star Wars' Anakin turned out to be the best qualified, since you're probably wondering).




There was a buzz of excitement as the boys looked over the cars and eyed each other's design choices.

Anakin took fifth place, which apparantly was a little disappointing...

...Until the realization set in that medals were awarded to the top five racers. Lucky for Anakin, too. Things were looking a bit tenuous for the little racer. Looked to me like he might have been out of a job.
