in the nine years that our club has been putting this race on they have never had a tie. but eli and another little guy had to have a race off. this is him watching one of the race offs…

after four runs they declared a tie. here are the co-1st-placers:

he also got 3rd place for design, adam did the flames on the front, but eli painted the car and put a “mean face” and a lightning bolt on top.

a blue ribbon came with the trophy. he didn’t want it so i told him to give it to lyla “for being a good little sister and cheering for him.” she loved it…
