WHEEL MEASUREMENTS

[2FAST4U]

HERE IT IS, THE ANSWER TO KING OF HEARTS. SHOW THIS TO YOUR COMMITTEE.

NOW BEAR IN MIND THAT THESE WHEELS ARE NOT ROUND AT ALL...

MY QUESTION TO KING OF HEARTS IS,
WILL MORE THAN HALF THE CARS GET D'QED AT YOUR RACE... ?

lOOKS LIKE TO ME THAT MORE THAN HALF OF THE WHEELS PUT IN THE KITS ARE UNDER 1.190"

#1'S - 1.194" ..... #2'S - 1.195"..... #3'S - 1.188"

#4'S - 1.185 " ..... #5'S - 1.190" ..... #6'S - 1.188"

#7'S - 1.190"..... #8'S - 1.195"..... #9'S - 1.187"

#10'S - 1.186" ..... #11'S - 1.191"..... #12'S - 1.188"

#13'S - 1.191" ..... #14'S - 1.188"..... #15'S - 1.188"

#16'S - 1.190" ..... #17'S - 1.189"..... #18'S - 1.189"

I believe Mr.Know It All's comment was that any wheel larger than 1.190"is to large to have been lathed,machined or what ever you want to call it.So any wheel with a measurement larger than this would absolutely be legal!

I did hear him make mention that any wheel under a certain measurement should be considered more than lightly sanded(read this as Machined)but I did not hear what the exact measurement was.I will be getting that information at next pack meeting(this Friday)and will be comparing it to your list Glenn,Thank you very much.

The pack track is in the 50' range.The lightly sanded #2's did well ;D

I may throw a kink in the theory of wheel size, but I have a couple "hot wheel" cars that have been weighted to 5 oz. They will beat most of the cars being run at the average Pinewood Derby. My track is 64 feet long and so the times would not compare well - just know that they are the reason I began tinkering with needle axles to begin with!
