'Tis the season for pinewood blocks, wheels, weights, graphite and the best engineering known to mankind...Derby, baby! This year's edition featured 3 generations of Crawford testerone determined to smoke that track...Shane raced with Pack 780 at the Douglas County Fairgrounds facility, and suffered the gravest injustice: killer car, the fastest car in the trials, which he managed to drop in line to be weighed in. You just can't doctor a car with scientific precision in primitive circumstances. That's our story, we're stickin' to it.
Primed to take all comers. And he kinda did. Second in every heat. When you're racing against 70+ cars, it just didn't stack up. Gosh fetch.
After the Tigers had raced, and the legion of other cars were taking their sweet time, some nameless fellas were reduced to entertaining themselves with duct tape. Probably the highlight of the day. And no complaints.
Ty raced with the church pack in yet another Crawford-engineered marvel...the very picture of heat, ain't it?
The future stewards of the vineyard, folks. Pray vigilantly.
The best action shot we could offer. And as far as you know, Ty's car is first.
Shane's compensation: out of the two entrants in the sibling category, Shane's was the clear winner, which is more telling than you know: see little Abby there next to him? That girl ROCKS, and won the same competition the year before, handily. I didn't ask her how it felt to be nudged out by a 7-year-old. It could've gotten ugly.
All certified and ribboned, my Derby boys. You can't read that fine print? Oh, no need to squint. First place. First place. Coolest car design. Best looking participants. You know the drill.

Way to go boys (especially you, Matt)!
Ah, there's always a special feeling in the air at derby time. I was kind of feeling it way over here, even though it was derby time way over there. I keep telling our local cub master (I'm married to 'im) to get goin' with the derby!
