yup I did. I prefer self-deprecating names at least until I get my feet under me. I would feel pretty stupid naming one "Record Breaker" just to run another 2.96. ;D

2.96 is an accomplishment for ps, but not so much for a super mod... I figure my cars never try to make me happy anyway, so they are not likely to try to live up to an ambitious name. I may name the next one "Entropy Well" or "Dummy Car2" so maybe I can get it confused with a Jewkes-built car. ;D

You know they are usually made form throw away parts, nothing special ;D. I really like the look of grimace, are you going to let it grace the PDDR track?

Some of my car names are Living Water, Living Water II, Redeemer, Emmanuel, and Bread of Life. Do you see any common thread? Other past car names are 3:16, Joy, and Survivor. I just need to find the power that the cars names represent to be King. One of my favorite parts of pinewood derby racing is naming the car. MWD MWD, When you build "HALLELUJAH" the track better be ready!

I really like the look of grimace, are you going to let it grace the PDDR track? The fact that the dummy cars are built from leftovers and still run so well is a little discouraging. I will definately be sending in a super mod for the next race, but since it isn't till Nov, Grimace may have been replaced by then. Depends on how he runs at whatever races I can find between now and then.
