Mom-Powered Pink Pinewood Derby Car Ready to Race

Like many parents @adayat523 has a lot on her plate. Between working, cooking, cleaning and relaxing, she also finds time to be involved as a Scout mom for her son's troop. Since she's got so many hats to wear already, I happily agreed to take on the responsibility of turning her plain pink car into a pretty pink car for this weekend's Pinewood Derby race.



The car as it was upon receipt with a penny for size reference. Built and painted pink by Mr. @adayat523.

Some preliminary rhinestone layouts. Not enough, needs more sparkle!

Final design on top of car, plenty of pink rhinestones.

Thanks for sharing!

This car design is the most I've participated in pinewood, and I don't think this even counts as full participation! Your Grand National car looks a lot meaner than this glittery pink car. Thanks for stopping by ☺

I remember making these cars growing up, it was a lot of fun.

Do you still have any of your trophies?

you know I was trying to remember how I placed in them...I can't remember if I actually won but I'm pretty sure I got at least a few 2nd or 3rd place finishes. It was a pretty big group, probably 50+ kids. If I still have them I have no idea where they are....
The key was to always use the graphite spray on the axels lol

Sounds like you had some solid competition! Until I was asked to help with this car, I didn't know pinecar derby was so intense. I found out there are all kinds of keys to making a faster car, like graphite on the axles, making it "crooked", weighting different parts of the car. Although I didn't help with building it, I had fun decorating ☺

Amazing! A pink pinewood derby, and good alliteration as well. You have to have some pizazz and sparkle in your life.

Also it made me think of the South park that has the pinewood derby that shoots into orbit and brings in interplanetary visitors and Stan's dad lies and hilarity ensues. There seems to be a Southpark for every occasion.

Thanks, I appreciate that! I was really channeling @adayat523's love of girly glam here. Personally, I'm a bit of a closet glitter freak myself, so this was a fun task.

I have heard of that episode, haven't watched it yet though. South Park, a national treasure.

I was moderately curious about what would show up when I popped in to have a look, it's very pink and jewelly XD Cute little car :D

Yes, it's a very glamorous piece of wood! The race is today (I think), we'll see how well it does against the others.

Good luck! :D
