The mighty Creek converged upon KARS park last Saturday for the annual Pinewood Derby, a most favorite event for the Little Braves. The camping contingent was a bit thin, due to conflicts outside the tribe, as the Cougar and Snake families represented the Creek for the campers.
As another beautiful Central Florida day unfolded, more and more tribal families showed up, and at race qualifiers, we presented a worthy field of racers. The qualifiers took place at 1300, being 1:00 pm for you landlubbers, and the competition was fierce. We ran 3 heats, each car qualifying in all 4 lanes. The cars which qualified were in the low 8s. Qualifiers were Ice Lizard, Wild Cougar, and Black Wolf. Lizard Princess qualified in 4th place, and strong showings were placed by Devin, Tiger Tooth, both of the Dragons, Wolf Fang, and Rattlesnake.
For the finals, a little advice was gleaned from a Navajo racer, and we shaved some time off the qualifying times, however, the Creek was unable to wrestle any 1st 2nd or 3rd coup from the Nation’s event.
The tribe had a submarine lunch and enjoyed the beautiful weather, and discussed some upcoming events for the group. Another great Pinewood Derby campout has come to pass.
