Just wondering what the breakout time will be for the second series? We going faster, slower, or same time?

I use a slightly oversized pin gauge in an ER32 collet then zero it out with a dial indicator. I also slightly chamfer and polish the end of the pin gauge so it won't damage the bore when mounting the wheel.

Happy to hear that! I can't believe I didn't see this. I totally agree with Dan. I think the way it's being run now is perfect.

That was a great night of racing all around. Congrats to Fonze for a 1st place in unlimited. And same to T-bone for a PB finish in BASX pro. I've been watching those guys race for as long as I been racing. Really nice work dudes. And as for my personal favorite class, HR Bracket. Wow, what...

Mine are sent. Same two with some extra weight and few minor tweaks. Got a new car on the bench, but it's not quite ready yet. Looking forward to Monday.

Hurricrane is posting?! Wow, now it's REALLY starting to feel like the old days. 😁

Wow, this us starting to feel a lot like the old days. I remember the Zeebzob podcast when I first started getting into the hobby. Only got to listen to a couple of episodes before it disappeared. Happy to see it back.

Hey just wondering if there's a registered racers list for the upcoming race.

DEEP DEEP! Like test track, mini lathe, and drill jig deep. ;)

Have you watched Bulldog's fender video yet? Good place to start, and may answer a lot of your questions. My son and I only built one fender car, and we didn't shape the fenders in between the front and rear wheels like Bulldog does in the video. They were just one continuous width and height...

Okay. I just want to clarify... you guys saying .....no pledge, no graphite.......clean. Correct? :D:D:D And to actually clarify JustSayin nobody's makin fun of your question here. It's a legit question and something we have all wondered about and probably experimented with in the...

Hey Jon. That looks like a Derby Magic track. My test track is a 32' Derby Magic track, and I haven't experienced any issues in the transition when racing on the Best Track that the league uses... Follow B Regal's advice on weighting and you should be fine.

Wait wait wait... Hold on... I could have totally read this thread wrong, but is Trevor (a.k.a T-Bone ) the 15 year old you all are talking about?

The fastest cars are thin cars. That being said, there's other things that you have to get right ( alignment, axle prep, and wheel prep ) before aero is the big difference maker. So work on those things, build what you want, and have fun seeing how fast you can get it to go.

Lol! That's how it always begins. I so remember that feeling. That moment after that first successful race with your kid when you realize that there isn't another race for a whole year. That bug bites hard, and the pinewood derby rabbit hole goes deep... You'll find that it's filled with a...
