What a good time - eh? Many thanks to Tom and the rest of the Comanche for sponsering and running today's fascar event. I think all went very well. You guys just seem to have the system down and run this event like a well oiled machine.
We took a lot of photos - many of which have captions, so be sure to scan thru them. Also feel free to put in some captions/words of your own.
As far as tips/tricks I talked with a lot of the winners this year. No real secrets on building a car. Most this year used graphite based lube (i.e pinewood derby dry lube) last year the big winners mostly used 3-1 oil or WD40 (that was Kurt). Some of the cars had the dad do a lot of work, but some of the fastest carst had no work other than adding weight and wheels.
I found another blog site of a Y-group in texas and some guy put up his tips. This guide groups runs with 24oz on their cars so some things are different - but this guy does have some interesting tips:
For our event - Here is some youtube video of two of the finals:

Thanks to all who participated in the race; it went really well this year! And congrats to the winners in all the age brackets and divisions. We had some very cool, creative and fast cars this year!
We had a total of 68 boys race out of 142 registered in the Nation. That is a pretty low percentage, and continues a 5-year trend of declining participation in the FASCar race. I hate to say it, but it may be time to consider another event. Please let your Chief know how you feel one way or the other so Council can make a decision whether to keep this event or try something different.
Tom Knoebel, Comanche
