Re: Casting lead weights
Yeah, no shortage of shapes and weights at a good tackle shop. We didn't melt anything. Just drilled and dropped in some lead.

Re: Wheel Prep When You're Not Allowed to Prep
Some defensive engineers in here... who is the trophy for? Let me tell you this... I had a scout bring a car in to race he had carved and painted all by himself. That was it. I put the wheels on it for him before the race and glued a big old fishing weight on the back of it to get it to the limit. H...

Re: Wheel Prep When You're Not Allowed to Prep
I don't think I missed the point at all. I think all the fathers who completely take over their son's car miss the point completely. This isn't about "neglected" kids... this is about kids making the car with the "father's help". Not fathers making the car with the kids help. Sho...

Re: Return of the New Guy - Rules Nightmare
My first point is kids should be building the car. Kids do not extend wheelbases, parents do. Second point is if you want to modify the car beyond what a "normal" car looks like you should get approval. In this case the scoutmaster should have stepped in and said he approved it, end of sto...

Re: Extended Wheelbase
Since most kids will not be extending the wheelbase it means they are at a big disadvantage to "parents" who do this to their kids cars. This being the case I don't think it should be allowed. Have a mod class for parents to enter if they want to build these cars and run it with that class...
