Can you believe it… an RV took second place in the Boy Scout Derby race!
Now, think back and see if you can remember when you or your son or grandson entered a car in the Boy Scout Pine Wood Derby race. The boys always seemed to create their bright colored sports cars since a sports car would naturally be the fastest and would win the race. My grandson, Christopher, decided to create his own Pine Wood Derby vehicle, a Motor Home.
Complete with his version of graphics sporting a “V” for victory or for his last name. He even added small wood blocks that look like roof AC units and a skylight. Believe it or not, this bright orange and yellow motor home took second place in the race and put a smile on the faces of everyone. All of you who have met me know that being a “Nana” is a wonderful part of my life and we travel all the time with the kids and grandkids (yes, they are in their own travel trailer and we’re in our fifth wheel, but we’re still together). Having worked for PPL for over 30 years, my kids and grandkids have all been around PPL and the RV lifestyle forever so it was no surprise to me when Chris decided to build an RV. I sure am proud of him. I wonder if this is the first one ever entered in a derby race?
