Pioneer Rabbit and Danish Dynamite
Last night fifty competitors raced in the Stumptown 40 pinewood derby car competition, and me and my pioneer rabbit were right in the thick of it. It was a night of competition, camaraderie and good old fashioned fun. One of the most fun parts of the evening was seeing all of the different car designs, from the classic racer to gumby-shaped car. My friends Laura and Scott made cars that looked like a pantone swatchbook and a wedge of cheese, respectively.
I gave my car the moniker Danish Dynamite, from the chant “We are red, we are white, we are Danish dynamite!”. Unfortunately, my sister and I were the only two people at Spirit of 77 who knew the chant, so it was a small cheering section indeed. My entry fared well initially, but was finally ousted in the consolation bracket by a car shaped like a bottle of ketchup. Ahh, well, you can’t beat the condiments.
My car Danish Dynamite and driver Pioneer Rabbit make quite the pair!
Add to your ‘Most Ridiculous Riders Ever’ List
After reading an article on The Smoking Gun about the Foo Fighters’ rider, my pioneer rabbit started to get real persnickety leading up to his participation in the Stumptown 40 Pinewood Derby Car Race. So he hired a crack legal team to craft a ridiculous rider. Probably never should have taken those glossy head shots. Rabbit knows what rabbit wants, I guess.
Who knew a fake pet rabbit could be so demanding...
Pioneer Rabbit Racer
A month or so ago my friend Melissa told me she was entering a pinewood derby car race with AIGA. It sounded like a lot of fun, so I signed up too. Organized by Dave Selden and Ryan Parr, the event is called Stumptown 40 and is the creative person’s chance for glory in the cub scout arena. Selecting my driver for the race was a no brainer: my pioneer rabbit…seen here posing next to his custom rims in his first glossy headshot promo.
I don't know how he signs his pictures without thumbs...
