We did very good as well as a tiger. Won the tiger council championship and didn't loose a race until the overall championship at council, still came out 2nd overall though. Last year as a wolf, won the wolf council championship and overall championship undefeated, didn't loose a single heat all year.
The biggest part of the whole car building experience is a lot of reading and some know how. It had been nearly 25 years since my race so alot has changed. I read several forums before we built our tiger car and actually learned from that build so that we could better that car, which we did. There are a lot of people on this board that are willing to help and I appreciate that. Now that I'm a so called veteran, I help out when I can.
What are the odds?
