<p>[quote user="Gandy Dancer"][quote user="Medina1128"]<font face="comic sans ms,sand" color="#003366">I had a friend whose dad worked in the engine shop on the flight line, and he gave us each some old sealed ball beaings. Result: I had the best rolling ugly block of wood Pinewood Derby car that year. Moral of the story:</font>[/quote]I thought the moral was that Boy Scouts are bound by honor not to cheat. Ball Bearings are forbidden, in fact any bearings and washers are forbidden. [/quote]</p><p>Those? I had one on the shelf for about 30 years until it finally got thrown away, that one made it down the ramp about 6 feet and hung stalled on the high center guide of the competition ramp. The rest of the cars raced the last few dozen feet or so to the end. It was a big old block with very little done to it to maintain mass and weight.</p>
