The races in Ohio will be on the Redline Hill track: http://www.redlinederby.com/fantasy/tra ... e.php?id=5

A slower track for some extra challenge.

One month until the first race!

I've managed to to put together a few cars. Each one is slower than the previous. I need this graph chart to go the other direction.

i know it's a bunch of work, but with a leather glove on your non drill hand and a burrbit in your drill you can hog enough weight off the inside of any body to enter in most weight classes...
i know most of you rivit the cars back together, but the peg and rivit weigh alot...
LOCTITE-STIK'N SEAL, non toxic, stays put [like toothpaste], dries clear, washes off with water while wet / white... dries slightly flexible, can be pealed off to try again... my cars have proven it's durability... $2.50 a tube at WALLIES,
does about fifty cars...

My cars keep ending up too heavy!

I weigh all the parts I'm working with before I assemble the cars.

Then when I put them together they are somehow slower than they were before I took them apart. (At least they're making weight)

I put cars back together with JB Kwik and it doesn't seem to add much weight at all, which is great. I do have a car which I plan on sending which is at 34.7g... problem is I still need to put it back together so im going to need to drill a hole or two in it to bring its weight down just enough so that it stays in the featherweight class! haha
