After five previous Pinewood Derbies, spanning the years 2001 to 2012 (with a gap between 2004 to 2010) and not even coming close to producing a winner, Brad and Ben decided this year they would go with STYLE!
Thus, the Mystery Machine was born!
I think Ben still secretly harbored visions of victory...
seeing his car lined up with all the others...
but after his first race against The Lightsaber, The Batmobile, and The Alien Invasion,
watching his Mystery Machine groove down the track, he realized STYLE is the way to go!
The Mystery Machine definitely had a distinct shimmy and totally captured the essence of grooviness.
On a side note, I was asked to make awards for the Den winners. I came up with these beauties, thanks to Pinterest! Can you tell they're supposed to be race cars?
Tell Ben that he had the grooviest car there! Super cool! I am also impressed with the awards. I've gotta get on that pinterest!
