The website didn't disclose what chemical it is, but it goes on wet, then dries.

now that was a cool car... Ferris: Look, it's real simple. Whatever mileage we put on, we'll take off. Cameron: How? Ferris: We'll drive home backwards.

The times disclosed are for "average Cub Scouts" after coaching.
I challenged this time as NOT better than "average Cub scouts" with coaching on good graphite, and was nowhere near any record. He would not even give me the data for his adult record because it would mean nothing if I didn't know how the track was set up. I said to give it a try and I would model it for him. No answer. I might get some to see what it is, but because he will not back up his claim with any data- I refuse to pay any money.

Perhaps the market for this product is with those that cannot use oil in a Scout race.

Why would this be any different to use than oil? It goes on WET. Our council rules specify you cannot use oil. It does not say you cannot use a product that it applied wet and dries. I do not write the rules - we just need to follow....

Super Coach doesn't say that there is no oil in the mix... he doesn't say what it contains at all. I say it contains oil... Just because he says it is a legal dry lubricant doesn't mean anything. From reading posts elsewhere, the carrier is Alcohol. Which dries completely and leaves something behind that is the lube itself. I haven't tried this stuff yet - not sure if I even will.

Where would oil go if placed in alcohol? To the top or the bottom?

If he doesn't tell us "what is not" or "what is" in it how can you run it in any Cub Scout Derby except one that allows all lubricants? On his site he says it is dry. I guess you can only take his word for it. I put some on an axle and will let dry for 24 hours. Guess I'll see if it is dry or not. I agree 100% that the hype on the site makes it sound like snake oil. But considering all the money I have spent on various waxes and lubes - I figured I would test it out. I don't really expect it will beat Krytox - but I'm hoping it's faster than graphite.
