2013 Derby recap

I had mistakenly advertised the Derby this year as the 11th Annual.  I was wrong.  This was the 10th year.

In typical Breecher/Tedford/Bredford fashion, we were busy working on our cars the night before.  In fact,  we didn't start our  Blast Cars until the night before.  I finished painting them the morning of the Derby, and Chris added the wheels about an hour before people arrived.

We had quite the turnout!  29 legal cars, 4 illegal, and 7 Blast Cars.  All those races took quite a while!

Caitlyn vs. Nat
Dekota vs. DJ
Michael vs. York
Fran vs. Seaghan
Kelly vs. Kristin
Bruce vs. Anclia
Pete vs. Rosita
Grace vs. Jeff
Elizabeth vs. Girl Chris
Leslie vs. Jack
Jason vs. Bill
Bennett vs. Davis




Lydia vs. Boy Chris
Lydia vs. Rosaline
Andie had a bye through a couple of heats.



Here's a look at the bracket for fastest car.  Seaghan won.

And then we raced for slowest car.  Here's that bracket.  Natalie won.

Then it was time for the Illegal cars.

I didn't take too many pictures of spectators, but here's one of the crowd during the race.  Yay for all of Bennett's teachers coming.  Now we just need to get them to make cars for next year.  :)
