This was going to be his year. They conferred, they shopped, they planned, they sanded, they painted and came up with another sweetheart of a car this year. THIS was going to be his year.
The heats that his car ran in (the really skinny red one in the middle) went well over and over. He consistantly placed 1st or 2nd in each heat. But, with so many boys in his group, he missed out on a 3rd place finish by some microscopic amount of time.
My Dad has vowed to make it his life's mission to come up with THE CAR for 2010. After all, Devin only has 1 Derby left (snif, snif) before he becomes a full out Boy Scout. Rumor has it that he plans to spend his fall and winter constructing a test track in their basement. My Mother must be thrilled.
Did Devin care that he narrowly missed winning a trophy? Does he look like he cared? Ok, yes, I'm sure he was a little disappointed, but it certainly didn't show.
