Re: Mr. The King, Hauler
... me too, Andy, my apologies for hijacking the beautiful thread. Whoda, thanks for the trip back in memories lane. I think that our pack still gets them for $13.95. Anyway ... way cool!

Re: Mr. The King, Hauler
The section on Big Rig http://www.scoutingpages.org/us/tx/pack" target="_blank ... 202008.pdf was my attempt to bring back 18-wheelers to pinewood derby in our Pack about 8 years ago. Believe it or not 18-wheeler kit was sold at the Scout Shop once upon a time and was part of pinewood. Sco...

My youngest did just that ... flat slab with a Mario (cut in 1/2) glued on top.

Re: One Last Go At It ...
We ran our race yesterday. We came out ok. My youngest's car (Mario) avg was 2.952 second with the fastest time was 2.938 second. The closest car to him was 2.9915 sec. avg. Even my Outlaw cars (avg 2.97) couldn't match it! It was truly a Fluke and he did 80 percent of the car! Super proud Dad I am ...

Re: One Last Go At It ...
The cab is from a toy truck that my youngest no longer play with (I hope :sweating: ). It happens to fit perfectly on the pine that has the axles. I used silver Sharpie to color in the hubs. The logs are 3/4" wooden dowels, stained with left over oak stain that I have. Only the ouside logs are ...

Re: One Last Go At It ...
Thanks! ah8tk, after 11 years, my wife is looking forward to getting her dinning table back in December/January! One thing that I never get to do is to make Lightning McQueen that you sent me ... but thanks for sharing. I knew that I forgot to thank a whole bunch of folks like Sporty, ah8tk, my home...

Re: Anyone have a race coming up?
End of January ... it's the last ride for me. My youngest will be crossing over to Boy Scout in February! We are pouring all our efforts! Me, defending my Outlaw and regaining my Open. My youngest will go for his first title.

Re: Do you hold back info locally?
I and my fellow pack dads do not hold back our secret sauce! As a matter of fact, we take pride in anyone whom we helped who beat us (Open Race) or our sons! In our Pack, the competition is very high ... At the workshop, this is my parting advice to all of them: To be fast and competitive, there are...

Re: Dad and Cub: The addiction.....
Awesome fleet, technic colors ! Wow, that's a lot. I thought that we had a lot when my three sons and I built 5 cars and two big rigs four years ago, but this has to take the cake! If these were mine, my wife won't let me leave the house with them! They are not color-coordinated! ;) :rofl: Good luck!

Rear Wheels Inside Out
Ok ... I thought that I have seen everything, but I saw the rear wheels on one care were run inside out ... just the rear wheels. They are new BSA wheels. I started to look into it. Perhaps, I overlooked this discussion here at DT, but I found that a couple of racing teams in PDDR site also ran thei...

Re: Hardware
Thanks. These are the last 6 years worth of efforts with my #2 and #3 son. Not shown are my oldest son's and a few medals and ribbons. Next year is my youngest's and my last year. Hopefully, we can add to the collection. Btw, this is only Pack level. We really didn't participate at District and when...
