Thanks a bunch... I have a seven year old who was adimant that his car needed to be green with yellow orange and red flames... turns out he was right...lol... His car won best design at district ... and ran pretty respectable at district with a 2.63 avg... His brothers car ran consistent 2.60 on 35 foot aluminum... for 5th overall. we have work to do, stuff to learn and a great place to do it all... I thank each and every racer, builder and PRO for their tips, knowledge and patience. It has made this an even better experience thaN I thought I could it possibly could be.
