Just let me know if you need the logo in a high quality format! LMAO! Also it is a 2008 model, you don't want to get the slope wrong.
On a side note any good smooth surface will work. I inexpensive mirror from Walmart will work. While we all like to have fancy stuff to work on our cars, sometimes items do not need to be high priced or fancy to do the job.

Well finally got around to checking out this chat room. Met a couple of you up in Indy “Evolution, Sky Racing, Cutter Racing, and Ninjarabbi” are the guys I remember, all great guys and more than willing to share their tricks and tips.
I thought I was fast when we showed up. We did put our three cars in the top 24 and won a couple for races during the knock out rounds. But as we matched up with these top racers, we learned a quick lesson.
I plan to do some proxy racing through the year and hopefully show up to a few that is closer to me.

HI another Indianapolis area resident here. Seems the recent Indiana State Museum has several of the Indiana crowd stoked to go racing on a more regular basis.
I have gone to the State Museum race 3 years now. Like DerikX, we managed to have our 2 cars get in top 24 qualifiers but didn't last long in eliminations. We were standing next to the young fellow that finished 3rd (lost 2nd place by 1 thousandth in a 2-heat tie-breaker!). What an exciting day.
I am definitely looking at trying out the PWDracing proxy races, cause waiting a year for another crack at the big track is too long. Hoping to have a couple cars in for the May event (probably going to get one of those chassis Evolution is selling - coolest thing I've seen out there).

Hello, I am happy to see that there are others out there like me. I am very new to Pinewood derby racing, but I have been totally bitten by the bug. I am a professional modelmaker living in Manhattan NY. My nephew is in Tiger scouts so we built a car together a couple of months ago. We built more of a show pony than a racer so we finished about middle of the pack of 35 cars. I really want to race some more though and even try some modified stuff. I have many questions for you guys. Thanks, laserman

Laserman,
Welcome to the forum! If you have been bitten by the bug the only cure I know is to build lots of cars and race them. Lol. The forum has many great racers and they have tons of knowledge on building fast cars. Please post questions you have and someone will answer it quickly (most likely you will get many to answer it).

Hi everyone, I am glad to be here new to derby racing. My son had his first race with Cub Scouts, think I am hooked. He did well in his first race he got second. We still have a lot to learn.
