Ward pinewood derby

I made 2 cars.

One was underweight. I didn't bother to add any weight. I made it for a toy for my son. Whittled, sanded, and painted.

The other one was overweight, at 14oz. So they disqualified it. The thing was, it was still pretty slow. It wasn't very aerodynamic.

There were a few cars that were pretty special. One was a "Texas Rangers" patrol car, complete with flashing blue siren lights and LED headlights. Another was a car with a couple of carved surfboards in the back.

I think my next one is going to be a treehouse on wheels.

Ours is usually a wedge with melted weight poured into the wedge and key points as well as wheels and axles perfectly ground.
