Austin's Derby Race

Last night was Austin's Awana Derby Race at church. He wanted a General Lee car from The Dukes of Hazard. Well, actually, he didn't want a car at all but once he found out that everyone had to participate he decided on the General Lee. Choosing the type of car he wanted was the only 'work' he did on the car; Heath did the rest. Yes, I know that's not the way it should have been but... Oh well!


The General Lee

Their race was different than Kamden's. Everything was computerized and they raced four lanes instead of two. Everyone got to race four times.


Austin's first race.

He came in 2nd place.

ALL my pictures turned out blurry so I won't torture you with those. Austin's car didn't do very well. He won 2nd in the first race; 3rd in the second race and 4th in the last two races. Of course, he had a lot of excuses for not winning:
~ the boy that won bought his car on ebay
~ He had too much weight on his car.
~ They raced his car backwards.
...and the list goes on. :)

Here is his picture after the race with his car.
