Powder Puff Derby rolled around early this year in Virginia. Hubby and Big Sister had to collaborate once again on a car design, and color scheme. This took several evenings of staring at designs on-line, trying to incorporate Big Sister's BIG ideas, and considering the tools needed to create a work of art. The stakes were set high last May when Team Moloko finished in 2nd Place. Was last year's rookie team merely lucky, or did they possess the "secret sauce" for perennial victory?

The design and color scheme unveiled, with "bling" added for additional speed. Friday evening Team Moloko had to take the car to the "weigh-in" then leave their creation to be sequestered for Saturday afternoon's race. From the early reports, unbiased of course, it was one of the snazziest in paint jobs and design. Hubby and Big Sister were pleased with the results of their wielding of a coping saw, sander, files, Dremel tool, and a liberal application of paint and graphite lube.
Saturday afternoon, Hubby and Big Sister headed off to the Competition. I remained home with two slumbering Little Dudes to prepare for Big Sister's Birthday Party scheduled for Sunday afternoon. The plan was to join Team Moloko once the Little Dudes awoke. The Little Dudes took a marathon nap, so I relied on cell phone updates of the derby events. By the time they awoke, Big Sister had competed in her division, placing 2nd, and was awaiting the remaining divisions to compete for the awards ceremony. Unbeknowst to Team Moloko, all the 1st, 2nd & 3rd Place winners in each division would race again through 12 grueling heats of competition for the title of "Overall Winner."
With over 90 entrants, Team Moloko finished 3rd Overall in the Brooke Point Powder Puff Derby. Once again, our Indianapolis-born daughter drinks milk in the Winners Circle.
