Hello From MRB

[Mister B Racing]

Hello everyone!

I just joined this forum and I am a complete rookie! I collect old school Pinewood Derby cars from the 1960's, fix and repair them and resell them. I am always on the lookout for old wheels, nail axles, and parts. I do keep some of the nicer carved cars for my collection.

Anyway ... I am here in this forum because after digging through some of my old cars I have found a wedge Pinewood derby car. It has quite a long weelbase of 5-1/2" and it has grooved axles. I am going to rebuild it, clean it up and try racing the Street Stock Amateur class. I have been reading the posts, looking at pictures and videos on what the best steps are to build a car. I'm sure I'll have some questions along the way.

So if the pro's have any hints, tips or ideas that will help me, that would be great!
Thanks in advance!
MRB (Steve)
