I wanted to retire the Guitar car this year. But so far I haven't built one faster. So I'm working on a new mod right now to try and beat Rock-n-roll. Although I have a lot of tungsten I'm making it lead powered. I just finished the most aerodynamic PS car ever to run down the pddr track? It's lead powered too. I really like using lead. You have to get creative in your design. My new mod has 4.3 oz of lead. Try hiding that with 5/8 com!

I don't want to show a picture of it because it's top secret. ;D I gave myself a 3 week aerodynamics course from the internet sites. I implemented what I learned onto the car. I do know the design it pretty good. I almost wished I used tungsten but chose lead. Even if it's not fast due to either weight distribution and/or alignment. It has a lot of things builders will use in their future cars. Right now I'm not even sure if it will clear the track. At least it's cool to look at. All I can tell you is it's black with red wheels. PS: Sweet design and paint there 9DB!

9DB, Remember you can't handle any cars unless their yours. So you won't see everything. ;D Better bring a mirror.

That's an easy one to solve. They make those dental mirrors that are angled. That would work fine to see under a car.

Take as many pictures as you want. You don't have a shutter speed fast enough to see everything! ;D Yes, your car will catch too much air the way it is. You better run it backwards down the track! Trust me... Hey, here is one of my fast cars on youtube. Anyone that can build one like this -you better watch out for.....

That's a sweet video Kenny, but until you have one sit still at the top of the track I still win.,

Oh sorry, short attention span. ;D I have three PS ers ready but I am only sending two. I will be sending Kiss This (for the race with DT) and then I am sending a car in honor of my daughter and her trials this month.

I missed that video of your car with the parking brake on. Can you post a link to it?

I'm in the process of converting Orange Juice over to a Super Stocker.
I also may send Ying Yang in to test out some wheels,my first attempt of making my own wheels from a $2 set from the Scout shop. I finally got around to trueing up the tread surface. So far I am satisfied with how it runs.
