AWESOME. So if the track has no limits, does that mean the cars don’t have weight limits?

Now THAT would be awesome.

Did you not do the wind tunnel tests on your car before optimizing the weights?

Then there are the bearing surfaces. Did you not wear in your axles and bearings with graphite?

Then to check did you not apply at least 7 coats of hand applied lacquer sanding between each with final sanding with 2000 grit paper before before wax polishing?

One of the Packs here in WA state used to have an UNLIMITED division for the adults.

Same adult used to win year in and year out (Boeing engineer). One year, guy used rocket motors and won.

I remember taking my son to the Post Office to weigh his pinewood derby car.

Usually, when we’ve had “open” races, there were no restrictions of any kind. A free-for-all. Fun times, cool cars, etc.
