My Name is Mike but all my friends call me Bulldog. This is my first post to any pine wood derby site. I am a venture scout leader hers in southern Oregon. Venture scouts are 16-18 years old. Well,a while ago as me and the boys were planning our next 3 months one of the boys asked if we could hold our own pine wood derby, I have a huge love for the derby, so i was very excited to see some interest from my venture crew. I grew a love for wood working as a cub scout while building cars with my old man, I now am running my own professional cabinet business because of that love as a boy. I firmly believe in introducing new trades and talents to our youth to give them opportunities to find out the things they will become passionate about. I found this site about 3 weeks ago while doing my research to help teach my boys how to build cars that go fast. I have been sucking as much info in that I can. I have gotten so excited about the boys progress in their own cars,. I was going to build a track but in reading posts about tracks I just purchased a 42' Best Track. The boys want to hold races often, so I'm going to run it kinda like an outreach program. As their leader I fell I must build the fastest car or what kind of example would I be? Lol. So I've built two proto type cars, here they are. they are 1/4" thick, fenders on all wheels, CoG at 1", rear wheels canted at 3 degrees, rail runner with front Right wheel raised. I purchased the Silver Bullet from DD4H, I bought dynasty cheetah , I bought the larger axles with the cavity cut out, should I use these axles with the oil process? I bought the dvd from DD4H, I could not find the jig so I ordered the 3m spray, some guys said it's a good alternative.I have tried to apply as much as I can from you pros. I thank you so much for the info and I hope to someday to be talented enough to add to some of the tips and tricks. I will be building and testing cars until I can send a decent car to the man of the mountain. I look forward to the friendships to be made while getting back to where it all began with my love for wood working. If any of you pros have advice for me that will save my learning curve, I'm wide open for advice. Last question, why does Q.T turn the front wheels, is it mainly for aerodynamics? Thanks Your new friend and builder Bulldog-
