Sarah and Bryce win at the Grand Prix


It was a fun night...the first year we did the grand prix, we didn't make it out of the first heats. We didn't know to add weights to the cars to make them faster. We didn't sand them very much and painted them with paint brushes. We've graduated to using a sander (hand and motorized), spray paint and laquer and lots of weights. So much that they had to drill holes in the bottom of Sarah's car to lighten it (it was 0.1 ounce over regulation of 5 ounces!!) Brent had the most unique design, but we think it had a flaw in the front which slowed it down. But it was a smooth looking hunk of cheese!!
