Meet "Wahooooo" she ran great at pack, My son retained his title I'm very excited about districts with this car. We ended up with a com right about 5/8". I'm starting to catch some heat placing 1st again this year from some parents . But we caught some compliments too, one dad after the race said "you're going to build my car next year!". I'm thinking about holding a workshop for the pack next year to share some tips and tricks to help speed up anyone who's interested.

My son drew out the design himself, did all the paint including the water drop effect and clear coats using duplicolor, helped polish the axles, and helped polish the wheels! My birthday was last week, my son asked me what I wanted, I told him to draw me a picture of the 2 of us...below is the best present I have ever received. That's "he and I painting his car in the garage" at the bottom in the last pic. In addition to a great gift it also serves as proof that he painted it himself, as he's holding the can, lol!

Thanks for all of you who helped me learn new tricks and offered up advise. It turned out we did have some competition that meant business. They placed 2nd last year and got 2nd and 3rd this year! Our 2010 car would have taken 3rd this year, but if it weren't for the new knowledge I gained we would have lost the title this year!

Thanks for all of you who helped me learn new tricks and offered up advise. And thank you for answering the questions that get posted time and again.

I have to add a special big giant THANK YOU to 3 people who went WAY ABOVE AND BEYOND. These guys are the top notch in my book! MWDPWD, CA$H RACING, & 5KIDS, I learned a lot the past month. My son and I Thank You.

Nice Job, the water drop effect turned out great.

Great job, congrads on the win.

About the sour grapes from the other parents, don't let it bother you, there will always be those out there who don't want to put the effort in to learn, which you have found that the information is readily available, you just have to go find it.

My boys and I have to put up with the same thing, you are cheaters, you built the car for your kid. I have put on workshops for my boy's pack for the last three years, and our pack has dominated at district those three years. They almost cancelled the race this year because of all the complaints last year from other packs. So, I invited the leaders from the other packs to my workshops this year, offering to teach them how to build a fast car, so they could in turn could take that info back to their packs and teach their boys. Out of 15 packs, I had three take me up on the offer. Those three packs did well at District this year.

But guess what happened? Still people complaining that we cheat. Of course, the complaining came from those that didn't bother to come to the workshops.

So yes, help as many boys as you can, put on a workshop, because this is about the boys, not the parents. There are winnings and losers in PWD, just like there is in life, and your success in life is proportionate to the amount of effort you are willing to put into something. That is the lesson we should be teaching our children, not the one that say "you are all winners" crap.

But remember, no matter haw many boys you help, there will always be the complaints. When confronted with them I just simply say " well, you did sign up for a RACE didn't you? We did, and that is what we came to do, RACE!"

nice job

Wahooooo took 1st in class at Districts today!!! Today was a good day!

Carolina, the water drop effect was inspired by your Orange car.

Nice Car X and congrats. Why don't you send one next month to the Dash 4 Cash at CCRL and see how it does.

Wahoo is right! Congrats!

That car would have looked just as good with a Cubs logo!

Dash for Cash... I wasn't aware of that race. Now that I see the site I know I had visited it before 2 months ago during my research. Looks interesting! I have to imagine with 100.00 on the line you will get a ton of entries for this race

5 kids, my son was debating on either Indians or Cleveland Cavaliers... wait for it......... Cleveland Cavaliers CHEERLEADERS car!!
He just might bust out the CHEERLEADER car next year
If he does, I can see a possible ringer for Best of Show! It will get my vote, lol! The kid carry's around pics of himself with the cheerleaders in his wallet.... He's about to turn 11 this year and scaring me
