It might.  But half of my team quit because "the competition isn't fair".  I'm sure at least 4 of the 5 kids would have stayed otherwise.  Many instances would have meant more than one.

Sounds like he spent too much time not getting any ass. Female or male, as long as it'd been of legal age, he might never've done that.

Anyways, there were strict rules about lubricants used, modifying the wheels, etc when I was in. Honestly, I didn't even really like most of Cub Scouts. Was too much like school. I preferred the after time when we munched and played. Especially when my dad was Webelos leader except we didn't have munchies then, unfortunately - if there was time we'd play capture the flag and stuff in the parking lot while waiting for the other kids' parents to come get them.

When my son did it, the kids judged the different classes.

Well, I don't know what to tell ya.  (Not you Mountain, the purists in general).  We live in a flawed society. :dunno

best trick to build a fast car is to bend one of the rear axles (the axles were just nails last I did one of these).  This allows you to grab the tip with a pair of needle-nose pliers and twist it until you can get it so the car rolls without the wheel touching the ground.  Three wheels is where it's at.  And since rolling down the track itself bangs the hell out of it, you can test it between races and make adjustments if necessary.

BTW, one year my older brother carved a replica of an Oldsmobile Aerotech Quad 4 for my pinewood derby.  It was entirely by hand, mostly using an xacto-knife.  Super cool.  I wish I had pictures of that.
