Finally got back from Vacation and was inspecting my car when I noticed my tape on the bottom was rubbing on the wheel on the Superbird. I thought it was weird, because the Superbird was faster then the Supersport on my track. Thats the 2nd time I've been hit on little things that will get you! (probably wouldn't make to much difference) but you know the feeling!

Live and learn!
 
So many details that are easy to overlook.
I am glad you got to the bottom of it.
That car was quick and that spoiler rocked.
 
My sons where hoping that supebird would win.. The day before the race my oldest son ask me what one of his matchbox cars was. It was a superbird... So when they saw your car they really wanted it to win..

lol, that's pretty cool! Tell him I'm thinking about building a blue one! (43 Richard Petty) is that the one he has?
 
I knew that I saw that car somewhere before

They really need a bikini girl controlling the smoke though.

Circle track car right? So... what's up with the parachute? It's not a drag car or did I miss something here?

Any pic of the Bird?

Davet if you asking about mine, its under Pinewood derby pictures. 'Superbird'

I have to say that is one of the coolest cars I have ever seen. It's done up just right where you can obviously tell what kind of car you were modelling it after yet its not meant to be an exact reproduction. Very nice. How did it run?

Paul,
I think that's a land speed racer. Maxton Mile maybe?

Thank you Davet!! It pulled a 10th place last race. Not good, not bad. It's my first year so I'm still trying to figure out the speed part!
