    My New Car!

    My unlimited Pinewood Derby entry, Ducted fan, shaved wheels, polished and grooved axles. Still may drill out some weight, as it is actually right at 5 oz. Four or five Dads are putting together unlimited cars, this one will go across the floor picking up speed the whole way.

    Sorry about the lousy phone pics.

    Randy - why not put the company name on it and use some top-secret low-friction axle Powdercoating on it?

    Back when I was in the Scouts we did a Pinewood Derby, my buddy brought his car and then threw a fit when he saw the others and thought his car was ugly and left. We kept his car there and ran it anyways. My car was sweet, we really did it up with the weights and everything. I ended up coming in 2nd place, to my buddy's car who left.

    If it looks good, you'll see it. If it sounds good, you'll hear it. If it's marketed right, you'll buy it. But if it's real, you'll feel it. IG: @donuttrump

    Well I took first overall in the Dads race. Won all three heats with a 2.69 average for 35 feet! Had a fun day. Car got really unstable 3/4 through draining off some speed.
