My son and I had the opportunity to race at the May race. What a time we had. Glenn and David run a 1st class operation. We had a great time. Let me give you a little background. My son is a 2nd year webelos and so this was his "last" year to do pinewood derby. We have been lurkers on PDDR for quite some time now. I asked him if he wanted to try racing at PDDR and it was a resounding yes. So we decide to first run the cars we built for cub scouts. I also started building pure stock car. We live about 3.5 hours away and made the drive to see what it was all about. It was well worth it. Glenn and David make for some great racing. We also got to meet some other builders, and they were just the best people you could meet, thanks Camcar, JB07, and Disturbed. We ran our cars in EX PS class even though we had regular axles and not needles, but we more just wanted to see how our cars would run. I was just wanting to get under 3 seconds, and we did with my car doing a 2.960 and my sons car doing a 2.957 We are hooked. The Door Slammers were awesome and we are building two cars now for the next one. It is a little different building Door Slammers than other cars. It was incredible to watch MB/LA Sound, BnB, JB07, JE and others, wicked fast. Anyways, Glenn and David, AWESOME & WELL DONE. Looking forward to continuing on building some cars with my son and having some fun.
