PINEWOOD DERBY CAR SHOWCASE
Modified Wing - Elisa Davis
I built this car for my wife to run in the parent-sibling race. The body is an extended wing, which I modified with the side curves. I also had to enlarge the weight pocket to account for the wood reduction and the light weight wheels. Using a drop of Krytox 100 in each wheel hub, the car took 1st Place for speed.
Patriotic Stealth - Janel Davis
My daughter, Janel, built the Stealth, and did all the decorating. The stars came form a craft store, and the pinstriping is a hobby shop item. The car took 1st Place for speed, and 2nd Place for design.
Wing - Stephen Davis
My son, Stephen, built the Wing. The car took 2nd Place for speed. I'm afraid he will grow up with a 'complex', as he has never been able to best his sister in the derby! (just kidding)
