My 8 year old has his 1st cub scout Pinewood Derby tomorrow. Not bad for our 1st time. Lots of lessons learned.

Paint is 77 Z28 red, because I had some. Got a decal kit at AC Moore, sheer luck the colors were a good match. Polished & graphite lubed the axles & hubs. Rolls straight. A tiny bit of neg camber in the back - less rolling resistance I figure. Weight is at 4.9oz in race trim (5oz max). The wt behind the wheels goes straight through the body.


We find out tomorrow if we are any good at this!



Kind of like this:


That's right, we badd........
