My step daughter's school Pack had their race last night. We were not allowed to race in it after building a car. They have a rule for the Outlaw Class you must be a father, brother, mother, sister, grandparent, aunt, uncle etc etc in order to race. Being a fellow student was not in the rules.

They let us run our car on the track to get a time average, however it ran by itself. The track was a wooden track with a wall stopping sections. Lets say that during the Pack race it was carnage heaven. I saw some spectacular crashes and cars being shot off the track 20+ feet after rolling/sliding. We came prepared with stopping section grip/foam tape. I was able to bring my car to a dead stop before the wall by tripling up the grip foam in progressive layers. The Pack does not go by times, they go by Top MPH average.

Pack Winner: 204.1 mph
Outlaw Winner: 203.5 mph
Our Car: 221.4 mph

Next year we now have plans of hosting their building sessions and getting the Pack an aluminum track. While the kids loved the smash'em up derby, the parents were hoping to keep the cars as memories for their kids. A new track will help keep cars looking how they start the race.
