This Sunday is my sons and step sons council race. Wish us some luck. We have done well in the past, but every year is a new year and the fields keep getting tuffer. 4 on the ground rules, entire wheel must touch the surface, no canting ! no oil, cars are kept by the pack until council, cars are sealed and can not be opened until at check in, in front of inspectors. they have been in a box for three months ! Are council race is a two race, Somewhere over 1600 racers. One time I thought they said it was comprised of over 2600 kids. 12 tracks typically, 1 for st place cars and one for runner up class in each class, then two tracks for the finals, same senerio. My sons 3rd year and my step sons a webelo 1. two different packs. some pics from the pack race. Step sons car (green) my sons car- from the pack race- Ever wonder what I look like at team sporty, my and my boys. Good or bad Ill post a update and race info from council after Sunday. Sporty

Thanks all,
We have been very luck and blessed these past few years.
In 2007, was are first trip to council, my oldest in Webelo 2, took 3rd place.
In 2008, My yougest as a tiger won 1st at council and my step son took 2nd as a wolf at council.
In 2009, My son took fist at council as a wolf. Due to some car tampering issues, my step son was eliminated in the semi finals.
Now in 2010, my step son Webelo 1 was able to show the people who tampered with his car, that he only came back stronger and was able to take 1st place against some very good racers.
But my Son Sean was not able to do a 3peat in 1st place wins, but none the less 2nd place in bears was still a very respectable finish. The kid that won first, was the same kid who took 2nd to sean the year before. So it was a well deserved race and it was close racing.
Since 2007, We have seen the compition really step up and there are allot more racers these days, Putting the time and effort into building faster cars. The internet is also helped so many take it up a few notches.
