Cadet and GEMS Cub car races. 2024

 This past year we once again held our annual Cub Car building and racing time.   The GEMS joined the Cadets again and all had a great time preparing their cars and racing them.  

Below are some pictures and then a whole bunch of short video clips showing some of the many races that were done.  Cadets and GEMS, maybe you can pick out your car : ) 

Between the pictures and the video clips is a list of who won what.   

Congratulations to all who made a car, raced a car, and enjoyed themselves through the process.  



The very old, but very faithful track that is used for races. 
There is talk of upgrading it, but as of yet, this relic does the job : ) 



There was judging for the best looking car and some of them were very well done.  
Way to go (dad's : ) )


A test run of the track.  












Most of the cars in the competition.  



Trophies that will be given out at the end of the night. 

And the races have begun.   
Lots and lots of them : ) 





Once the scheduled races were done, Miranda and Doug figured out the top ones to be raced again to determine the winner.  It's quite a complicated formula they use.  I won't even begin to explain it : ) 





I grabbed a picture of two of the cars that I think had a lot of work put into them but both dad and son(s)  : )  


And then the finals were done and a winner was determined....after using another complicated formula : )  


Everyone wants to know who won!! 



Time for the trophies to be handed out.  



He's VERY happy : )
