Those cars look SUPER FAST!!!! Great job!!/images/boards/smilies/smile.gif/images/boards/smilies/smile.gif congratulations on the wins!!
 
Very cool congrats!! For a "Pack" race, having the pro's there as an educational adviser is a big help. This is what I've been trying to do at Pack races around my area, but most all are very strict to the point I don't want to help. The cars you raced wouldn't pass most pack races. The races I do run tech inspection, I encourage kids to try things like fenders, raised wheel, negative/positive cant, longer wheel base, use of oil.... Good for your pack to allow your cars to race!!!

Thanks Guys!!

I did have two speed classes two Saturdays in a row in my garage. We drilled blocks, axle prep, wheel prep and then showed how to set the steer. The turn out was pretty good, I had 10 dads and kids and the following we had 12/12. I think we ended up with 8 of them in at least the top 3 for their den (one guy was from my work). They were very appreciative and I bet I'll have a few more next year! /images/boards/smilies/smile.gif
 
Hah, I have to say, those are the most intense (metal?) looking designs I've seen on a car in a Scout race.
