"Staying True"

Doesn't look like much yet!!!

Schy working hard with Daddy, screwing it together.

The basic idea for the Soap Box Derby Car, or should I say "The Schy-Walker"

Testing it out after it was all finished

Daddy and Schy before the much anticipated derby, too cute!!!

There he goes.

Derby Car Decals, The # 7 was Schyler's idea. He picked this because he is 7 years old.

#7 on the spoiler!!!

Lil'cutie pie

He was so proud of himself.

Schyler leaning up against his car, this is his reflection in his helmet, pretty cool!!

Another reflection shot, AWESOME!!!

The ramp was pretty steep, I thought he would be a little scared, but NO, he jumped right up there like a little pro.

Finally time for the little Jedi to race!!!

Getting ready to put the car on the ramp.

Almost on there.

Getting ready to take a seat for his 1st race ( they got to race 3 times)

Daddy had to pin his #7 sign on the front of his shirt, we originally had it on the back.

Getting buckled in, The seat belt came out of Grandma's car!!!

Both racers are ready to go!!! Who is going to win?

Blast off!!! (unfortunately for the other racer, his car wasn't up to par and the wheel rod bent when coming off the ramp)

There he goes, I guess all the prectice paid off

Way to keep it straight

You can see the other car that went off road, they didn't have a chance this round (they fixed the wheel and he attempted to race again but the exact same thing happened)

The look of concentration

His tag was blowing in his face, we moved it lower after the 1st race.

He wasted that win!!!

Takes two grown-ups to move that Derby Car!!

Bringing the car back up

Team Schy-Walker heading back up the hill

Ready for race #2

Here they go (thie opponent was a couple years older and more experienced, he hopped in his car and leaned forward, while on the ramp which gave him a boost, he ended up beating Schy but not by much)

Pretty close so far

Both are doing a great job

Keep it up Schy

He really wants that win again

Great job staying on your side Schy, thats more then we can say for the red racer. (The rules said you will be docked points if you cros the center line but they didn't enforce that, otherwise Schy would have won. He never once crossed the line on any of his races.

realized he wasn't winning

Pouty face

Good Job Buddy

See the disapointment, pooy boy

think he hurt his finger?

BRAKE!!!

Look at that boy Speed on by!!!

Team Schy-Walker, Notice the matching Shirts

When all was said and done Schyler came in 2nd place for his class. He won $5 and some other cool prizes. He was so proud og himslef, and of course we are still proud of him. He did and amazing job!!!
