Pinewood Derby - Cub Scouts - 1989 - California

Having won the silver the year before, I had high hopes for this year...but, as you can see, it was not meant to be.

Reminds me of this Seinfeld quote:
The Olympics is really my favorite sporting event. Although I think I have a problem with that silver medal.'Cause when you think about it,you win the gold-you feel good,you win the bronze-you think 'Well at least I got something'.But when you win that silver it's like 'Congratulations,you *almost* won. Of all the losers-you came in first of that group.You're the number one *loser*. No one lost ahead of you!'

Your son came in second, be happy! My son has come in last place 3 years in a roll. Now THAT is devastating!
