Inspiring story! We love this. Shoutout to Mr. Pavlik as well as your daughter for the resiliency that she showed!
My nine year old daughter built a soapbox derby car with a seventy six year old mechanic, and the boys at the derby laughed at her the whole time she was rolling it up to the starting line. Every year our town holds a soapbox derby down Main Street. My daughter had watched it since she was little. Last year she decided to enter. My husband and I don't know which end of a screwdriver to hold.

If you raced a Soap Box Derby car on the Moon, you'd experience only about one-sixth of Earth's gravity.
That'd be insanely slow
