Ahh, got ya. No, that car he spun on a lathe and made into a unicorn or narwhal horn. He used the kit axels with the wheels dangling at the ends of each axel. It was a terrible car, but it did look cool. Haha.

I don't think it had bearings, I think the wheels were just painted gold. It was not in the final rounds. The Fish looking car with the hook and lures was fast and right at 10oz, as well as the second place car the red one, that had smelted lead filling the bottom. They both posted sub 3...

Yes, sorry for the delay. I wanted to collect some of the photos and videos from the event... but I will post a few of my own from that day. So... with the help of everyone here who offered advice and special thanks to DerbyDad for his awesome plug n play kit, I am happy to report that We...
