Pinewood Derby Update

My son and I assembled the car last night. It looks pretty good, and when I put it on the floor next to last year's car, it moved off the line faster. The bad news is that it seemed not to carry speed as well. Last year's car caught up to it. While the speed off the line is great for the downhill portion, there's a long, flat runout before the line. The inability to carry speed bodes ill for that section. I don't know if we have a wheel problem - I may need to reset the wheels before we go for weigh-in/quarantine tonight.

This year's car was loosely based on Ayrton Senna's McLaren - we removed the wings. The color scheme and number were matched to last year's car. The race is tomorrow.
