2013 Pinewood Derby - Shanghai

Overall, this was a disappointing pinewood derby for the McLains as we were totally shut out of the finals for the first year ever.  We learned some tough lessons.  It wasn't all bad as Reid won a design award for "Speed Demon" and Riley took 3rd place in his den with "The Blaze".  Rowan's fan car dominated the open racing, but this year it was not a formal competition so we bought him a cheapo car to commemorate it.  Anyway, awesome time spent with the boys over the last month or so and I think we have some great ideas to make a stronger showing next year...
