Re: Pinewood Derby - Racer Photos & Updates

Finally got around to mounting weights, I hope 4.95 ounces isn't cutting it too close.

Re: Pinewood Derby - Racer Photos & Updates

What kind of scale are you guys using.And what kind do the judges use?? I borrowed a friends that goes only to 1/4 ounces,and I'm between 4 3/4 and 5..I'm going to add a turbo and not tell anyone,screw the weight issues..

Re: Pinewood Derby - Racer Photos & Updates

I've got a small scale that weighs in fractions of an ounce, I think it cost me $10. I've had it for a while, also have one that weighs up to 25 pounds.

I'm building this one for Daniel Rosenbaum to race on the Power Tour. Amir is the owner of Spectre Performance, and Daniel is Amir's 13 year old son. Daniel should represent the company well with his custom cold air intake. ;D

I made the graphics on the computer, then printed them on an ink jet onto white decal paper from a model car shop.
I still need to clear coat it all this weekend.
