The 1470 Invitational

This weekend shortly after Scrappy got to our place we found ourselves clearing off the coffee table to have a race between Scrappy's favorite wind-up and pull-back toys. She instantly started digging sround in her room through her boxes of toys to find the 8 that would compete (as well as some fans to cheer them on.

Here was the starting line-up

I'll spare you all the video we took of each of the races (these things need to be documented so that there is no dispute over who the winner is). We decided to have a first round of races. Dino Rider A vs. Fillmore... Fillmore wins. Bee Movie bug vs. Dash... Dash wins. Lightning McQueen vs. Luigi... Lightning wins. Dino Rider B vs. Blue (last years champ)... Blue wins. That set up the very exciting second round. Dash vs. Blue in a matchup of the wind-up toys... in a stunning upset Dash wins... Blue was beside himself. Lightning then smoked Fillmore to set up a race of two Pixar superstars. I thought going in that the pull-back toys had the distinct advantage. Clearly as evidenced by the outcome of the races I was right. Lightning went on to win easily beating Dash. He is this years champion. Hopefully he represents the crown justly.

NEWSFLASH... We are waiting for him to pass his physical and be cleared of all performance enhancing drug allegations before we picture him with the championship trophy.

The best part of all this was that it was a lot of fun. We all sat down and played with toys together... something we all haven't done in quite a while.
