My son got wood, again.....

[kamori]

Balance it so it can ride on 3 wheels 2 rear 1 front camber the front and seat the tires to ride on their inside edge of both. Make it track straight. drill a hole underneath and when it comes to weigh in time drop some lead shot in the hole till u get exact weight. dab a little ZAP(superglue for building R/C airplanes) spray 1 shot of excelerator(Kicker) for Zap to cure. Presto you have exact weight at weigh in time on their scale at their calibration.

FYI My sons took 4th and 5th in San Diego county finals. They beat 54 other cars to get there. The final race finished with less than 1 car length separating all 7 cars.

Great time

Sweet car man, I hope your son places well.

Denis Didrot: "Men will never be free until the last king is strangled with the entrails of the last preist."

But there is argument that it is attributed to:

 Jean Meslier: "I would like — and this would be the last and most ardent of my wishes — I would like the last of the kings to be strangled by the guts of the last priest".

I have looked extensively for Thomas Jefferson requoting Denis Didrot but, Jefferson in all of his quotes has never reduced himslef to imagery of the french pre-revolutionairy style combining the extreams of vulgarity and violence wraped in aitheism.

I hope the accuracy of your research eclipses that of your spelling because the simplicity of the forum spell-check button (and the on-the-fly spell-check of most browsers) has eluded you quite successfully.

It has, in fact, passed by you at warp speed.

In any case, thanks for pissing on a thread that I started about the fun and bonding experience that I had with my son this week.    

Carry on.

Yeah wow, the spelling is horrendous, my quote box is just full of red underlined words right now, spell check is your friend . 

Also what the hell does any of that have to do with anything in this thread, I mean did I miss something, did you go to post a reply and have a stroke and just started typing nonsense?

Actually Tungsten weight 

And the weight goes in the back.  Balance point of car is  ~1" in front of rear axle.  The ramp transitions into a flat dor the last 6'. 

Remember Sir Issac's first law ...... (law of inertia)

An object at rest will remain at rest unless acted on by an unbalanced force. An object in motion continues in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. 

In this situation, the weight in the front would be the unbalanced force fighting the transition from descent angle to  horizontal (flat) trajectory.  If it's more to the back, it gives a "push" at the transition.

Science.....  it works, biatches

    You gotta come to Dayton bro.   Seriously, you have to.   First beer's on me.

If I come to Dayton, I'll brew and bring gallons of it (yet more skills my children have learned ... biochemistry and zymurgy)

I remember the Pinewood Derby in Scouts.  It was pretty hilarious in a sad way.

10 kids that worked on their own cars, from top to bottom.  Sanded.  Painted.  Balanced.  Loved.

Trumped by three kids who had Daddy "help" build their cars.  1st, 2nd, 3rd.

He worked plenty, last year.

That would be awesome.  If I had more room in my car, I'd be half tempted to brew up another batch and share it.  I'll bring a glass to sample yours.
