Yup, it's that time of the year!  Our Cubs Scouts got their Pinewood Derby Kits at the Christmas Party.  Drew's thinking about a FAST car with Salty's 3D eyes and a scale pattern.
 
I figure that a Metal Lip or popper mouth would slow it down, so maybe a Glider profile (without hooks). 
 
Going FAST is all about the weight, alignment, wheels and axils... ;D

Car was a consistent loser. Kid was bummed. I dunno why we thought we did a pretty good job. It was 20 mph slower than the fastest car.
