Big Al's Red Hot Hog Racer

Not quite what you think of when you imagine a pinewood derby car, but hey, we are in Iowa, the hog capitol of the world. Bruce came up with the idea and we really had fun making it. At the Elder's Quorum "Manrichment," we came in 16th out of 30 cars and won a prize for creativity. The rules were that the guys were supposed to design the car and the women had complete control over the decoration of the car. There were a lot of pink cars and a lot of interesting cars. One car had a pink feather boa on it, one was decorated as Tinker Bell and another as a mouse. The top three best times raced each other for the title--they were decorated as Herbie, a bone, and a duck. Very cute and very fun. The duck won. Quack, quack!
