Here is a picture of my sons slingshot inspired pinewood derby car. Slingshot meets Pinewood Derby meets Angry Birds.

Angry Birds is a video game my son plays on the ipod. Very popular with the young (and not so young). This car is just under the max height for our pinewood derby track timers. We had to cut it down a bit to fit.

Although I know nothing about the game, it's absolutely an absolutely wonderful piece!

i forgot to ask- is it going to actually be used in a race because if it is, id like to see a vid of it in action.

Yes, this is a racing car. The local race was Tuesday. The car is not very fast, but he did get 2nd place in the design competition.

By the way, he's also a shooter!
