Our pack this year, recorded all the wheel mold numbers from each of the kits. Then at inspection they crossed referenced the cub's name with the wheels he got and used a penlight to verify on the car that those were the wheels he was using. It sort of created a unique four number ID for each car when it was inspected. Much easier then having to brand or stamp each tire. It was effective in catching one car that actually showed up with a mold match set.CanyonLakeDerby wrote:The wheel is more of a challenge, as you said, in trying not to alter the wheel. I was thinking more of a branding or ink stamp on the inside of the wheel - I have to try a few different ways. Using matched wheels means people are buying parts ($7.95) to make their car faster....not everyone knows about this and many don't want to spend extra money just to be competitive. I think the majority of parents don't like it when people start doing this.
The parent said they had lost the original wheels and got these as the replacements (even though they told everyone in the pack that if they lost a wheel that they would have to contact the committee for a replacement). I guess they must have thought that they really weren't going to check the wheel mold numbers on each car.-Nitro Dan
