How credible is the NPWDRL? Here is an excerpt from a Shop Velox Ebay listing that might put that into question.

As far as I know, I am the only builder that shows you the car you are buying running on a track with this type of collected data. I have only talked to 2 other people in the past 6 years that even record this type data and I was told that 15+fps is an impressive set of times. Remember buyers, just because you have all these awards for the league that you own and run, doesn't mean that you put the same love into the cars you make for others.Please review my feedback. It speaks for itself.
Get as much as info about the car you are buying before you spend your hard earned money!

This car is tuned to ride the center guide.The method I utilize is like taking an airplane to its top speed versus just putting it in a wind tunnel like a tuning board does.You do not know if it is stable until you stress it.I stress these cars.!I simulate over 300 races per documented car at the car’s top speed (ten minutes at 10MPH)!NO ONE ELSE DOES THIS!By doing this I make real time tuning adjustments at the cars top speed, not at only 8 feet.This is with DRY LUBE and not cheating with OIL!

Please look at all the pictures I provide.I show you that I utilize nearly all the “tips and secrets” that they tell you to use.Shorten front wheel base, quick start front end, proper center of gravity, 3 wheel racer, rear wheels with chamfer to run on axle head and not body of car , machines lathed wheels,machined axles,and aerodynamic body design to reduce drag.

Are you all letting DD4h win to pad his statistical claim to fame?
 
DD4H is the real deal.
headbang
 
Yep!!! Every one that has ever raced against him where he has won let him just to pad the awards!!! I know I'm the best pinewood derby builder ever!!! If I lose its because I let the others win!!

IMO only. Shop V is in business to make money just like most businesses. That being said, DD4H is hurting his business by being DD4H. I actually know someone that bought one of shop V's cars and when it arrived it was in pieces. If I were a betting man, I would bet every dollar in my pocket that a show down between a Shop V car and a DD4H car that DD4H would win on any track. The other thing to consider is that the Shop V guy's track is shorter so his times will seem faster...you have to compare apples to apples! Also if I am not mistaken, I dont think Shop V uses oil...Oil will always be faster if done correctly. Either way, what is the point and where is the fun in just buying a car already done, what do you learn from that? Tell you what...Buy a Shop V car and go to Utah and race it. From what I have witnessed there is NO question to the credibility of the NPWDRL, I am no body special and I have only been here for just a little over a year and I can tell you that I have been to the NPWDRL and I have never been welcomed to a family like this and been treated so nice and professionally, DD4H is truly generous in every aspect! For me my avatar message should read "PWD Loyalty"
cool
 
At least Jewkes, Spacewalker, Evolution, DD4H all compete on pro tracks and pro levels.. Shop V never been to the dance. So if you put stock into that kind of advertising I guess that's on you. I say put your hard earn money down on there BEST car and send it in to NPWDRL and see for yourself.
 
In our neck of the woods, we use the term "Graphite Packer" to mean "unlearned", or "slow".
