2019 Pinewood Derby National Championships

You are aware that I am "Cherokee Chuck"...The World's Fastest Unlimited Pinewood Derby ever to grace Colorado Springs, Colorado . Hill district......just saying

I picked up on that...after my post of course :) The only way to get better is to race with the big boys. I've got a lot to learn and am honored to compete against Pinewood Royalty. I already started researching bearings, quite the rabbit hole this sport has become in a short time. Thankfully my wife doesn't see my credit card bill.

fyi...We competed at NPWDRL this month, we entered our first race under ASK Racing (That's my son's team name)...check out the Box Stock results ;)

Lol....Box is my second favorite class.....I saw you .....Was wondering who the new guy was..... welcome to the best damn race in the land.....hope to see you on the hill soon.....btw my sail car got a tune up so if you were hoping to beat it I would glass those bores, jig them axles, and only use a drop or two of some good 0 weight....and tune the rears first, then steer to what the car likes.....if I remember correctly...you are the only one my test car beat....we were both too light on steer.....just saying. Ohshiyo

And a group of bodies for some new builds I am working on. ....they are all 1/4" thick to nothing, exactly 7" long, and light as a breeze
