I have really enjoyed this thread. Brings back a ton of memories. Congrats to all for this years success!
I found one of my old cars in my mom's attic this past week.
I'm not sure if I read any rules or even worried about that stuff. Just wanted to build something cool.
If I remember correctly I modeled it after a Hotwheels tow truck I have.
It wasn't fast, but I did what I could for my age. Still brought home a trophy.
My dad had to try and lighten it up. Drilling some holes in the bottom and the drill kinda got away from him and put one hole all the way through. Just before race time didn't give us anytime to fix.

This is great stuff!
