2012 awana cars

Post by Scubersteve »

here are some sneak peeks at what my boys and I are working on for this year's Grand Prix...
I'm sure you can tell what the first one is, the second one is supposed to be the amphibious jeep from the last Indiana Jones movie

Who is the action figure? Looks like a clone trooper haircut.

I can take no credit for the creativity, that's my boys' doing.

as I always say..."the kids pick the design, and we do our best to make them fast"

Well the grand prix is this wednesday...
The jet is pretty quick, and the jeep is not, too much frontal area and a poor COM.
Oh well, the boys like them.

That's really great! Especially for the Indy car.

Did you run the jet down the track when they played the National Anthem before the races?

We always had Miss Hoopeston come in and sing the Anthem for us each year. I always thought about setting up 3 planes on strings to fly over the track at the beginning of the race, thought it would be cool, but wanted it to be respectful also.

Excellent job on the Jet, something to be proud of!

I like the USA AirForce Jet Car!
You don't see many of them made like this one.
Well at least in my area you don't! The Jeep is cool also Scubersteve.
