Ryanh that's what I'm hoping for I told them I wasn't promising a 1st place car,but I would bet he wont be last. My boys had great success when they were Cubs 1st & 2nd was always between them two in their pack, & we always came 1st or 2nd in District. This car has a few new things I've learned (all legal for Cub Scouts)sence when my boys were in Cubs; so I'm hoping for a good car; going to test it tomorrow.
 
tested car today it was the straightest running non-canted with no steer in front car I have ever built & ran some good times to not have canted wheels too; also stopped by and showed the car to the little feller & family I built it for they where amazed with the car, now we'll see how it stacks up on Saturday
cool
 
the little man got 2nd place after some tight racing they tied 6 times running the same identical times & having to run the cars backwards to get a winner

I moved back to my old neighborhood in Denver area after being gone for 20 years.
Two boys who I helped 20 years ago, now in their 30's, showed me their old cars and trophies, still placed on their fireplace mantels. Some memories last a lifetime.
