Re: My Son's 2012 Racer
ciodude,
That's a very cool looking superhero-themed car.
I allways like the cars the kids make no matter what thay are.
I never seen a Hawkman race car like this one.
Whoda.

That way the greater effort hopefully goes into the Cub cars, and the adults racers don't outshine the real stars of the event.

C-Cab Police Paddy Wagon.
