...As of right now it weights in at 5 oz. That would be the limit for the boys. I have to get mine up to 10oz.
The last thing to do is add another 5oz to my car but where front, back, top, bottom.
I was also thinking about putting a tin body on it to cover the wheels. But don't know if that would eliminate enough drag to make a difference.
I find this post really interesting, we haven't this sort of competitions here and I'm fascinated how a block of wood and four wheels can drive so many people's attention and the incredible amount of fine tunning them.
And there are kits available even !!
I guess that the goal is that the car that reaches the fartest point is the winner, isn't it. I'm a complete ignorant about that, but I find it a good way of kid doing something together with their parents.
