Race Day

Race day was held on Wednesday, March the 11th during first period in the foyer. I think that it was an overall great experience. This balloon car was a fresh project, nothing like the usual posters and skits we get in our classes!

Everyone came with the cars that they had built over the past month, and everyone wanted their car to go the fastest. For some im sure it went over what they thought it would, and unfortunately for some the car didn't go quite as far as they would have liked it to.

I am actually very happy with my car. I actually rebuilt the whole thing the night before, so that it would be neater looking, and possibly even better working (which came true, it didn't really turn by itself this time). My car went over the 5 metre mark both times! Though trial 2 had my car go further, I think it was because I used a different balloon. Overall I'm pretty happy with the results!

I would like to congratulate Ludwig and Jesse for getting the farthest distance. That sure was impressive!

I'd like to thank everyone, including Mr. P for making this project one of the funnest yet!

Race day was a success!
