NP Car - New August Modified

[warthog]

Here is the modified car that will race this weekend from Warthog Woodcars:



The design is based off of a design from Dr. John Jobe's book "The Physics of the Pinewood Derby" (www.pinewoodderbyphysics.com). For those that have the book the car is named the same as it is in the book. It was definitely the most difficult car to build that I have made. I am using a new lube this month as well - should be interesting to see how it goes.

It almost went last month, the only thing it lacked was a good set of wheels. The wheels are also new and will be available in the near future at your local Derby Worx supplier ;D.

Warthog,

I think you'll be satisfied with it's performance.

It didn't take a whole lot of wood to make it though, just tungsten and wheels.

Good luck this month to all racers.

Actually, this car has more wood in it than most of the cars I built for the 2005 WIRL Builder Series.

This one just doesn't hide it.

good luck, and good looking car..


Boys, The roof will be off the house in Lima, that's all I got to say... Look at the new technologies that are surfacing AND the people who's going to be there...... There will certainly be some fireworks....

did you have fun aligning those tiny little axles?

It definately isn't easy

I just hope the alignment holds for the race. It doesn't take much for the small axles to become misaligned.
