I guess I meant havnt seen a post since 2019. What am I up to. Ready to defend my daughters title from 2019 in march. Dont mean to be a [censored] but they offer no competition so I told my daughter we are. It racing the other kids we are racing her car from last year. I still have all the times on the printout they gave us. I understand the track may not be identicle or even the same track. I am on pinewood derby online forum as well. New this year is better weight placement and I did splurge and but some fancy tires.

I've got an idea. Why don't you and your daughter build a new one and see if you can't beat the time of the one she raced. That will be a challenge for you and a lot of fun for her as she works along with you.

I'm a bit surprised the rules don't require a new car be built each year. If she won, and WON BIG, that car will be remembered and it might get disqualified. That might not affect you much because you can get over a loss in a few minutes but it will break a little girls heart.

Yes I told her we are not racing the other kids as they no challenge. Lol. Sorry but its true. I told her we racing last years car. Maybe the track isnt identicle in everyway. Im sure it wont be but will be fun anyway. I still have printout of the times.
On the other pinewood derby online mesage board I have photos of the race her car this year and last year if interrsted. And her with her trophy.
