Gentlemen, Start Your Engines......

Mikey had his Boy Scout Pine Wood Derby race today. It was intense. After three heats, Mikey took two first place finishes, and one second. His car was ultimately brought down by a close race with the champion. Mike represented his roots well. His car number was 30, after his fav Tiger. His car name was registered as "Speedlio". His driver even had some wild hair like Maggs. Fortunately, his car placed better than the Tigers did.

Speedlio takes 1st in heat #2. Turn up the volume to hear Mikey's reaction.

I heard some folks in the crowd whisper that he reminded them of Junior

Mikey also received an award for Most Creative. His car was the only one at the race with a driver. A noticeable edge.

This photo was taken moments before the driver stood up and did a back flip for the fans.
