Thanks Warpspeed! That means a lot coming from you. That yellow one is only 1/2" wide all the way down except for the axles of course. When adding the weight it wanted to split so I had to glue it. Gone is only 5/8" tall in the back. I wanted to keep the profile low. Weighting again was a little tricky.

Great looking cars....Smokinjoe. I think the yellow wheels just sets them off. Maybe the yellow wheels provided the quicker times based on your testing...it sounds promising. Good luck!
Did you use cubes for your weight or the 1/4" cubes? It does not look like a lot of room for adding weight in your designs.

Ed,
Thanks. I use the 3/8's cylinders. It was a tight squeeze. Initial tests on the stocker were not as good as the modified. I still have about a week to fine tune.
