Pinewood Derby day

This Friday is my kids derby.

He has done great job at replicating his version of an Indy car.  His 6 year old paint skills with a rattle can are quite good now.  Tonight he gets to add his decals and we will install wheels and axles together.

As for the parents class - here is my entry (loosely based on a Doka)


Comes in at exactly 5 ounces.  It is of proper length, width and height.  Probably will go as fast as a stock WBX, but it looks good.

Hub caps are attached to the axle with a dab of silicone. Lots of Dremel time to get it within weight spec.

Also made this one because I was having fun with the Dremel, wanted to include something patriotic and also so I could attach the GoPro to it and send it down.
