Countdown timer on http://www.TheWestCoastGrandPrix.com says 4 days. Shipping options are getting slimmer, but you can still get a car to the race via proxy. Be sure to get your registrations in ASAP on the site.

Looks like I'm going to be bringing a couple of racers rigs and cars from Mid-America to www.TheWestCoastGrandPrix.com Not sure if I'm going to box my cloths up and ship them home or if I'm going to end up having to pay for extra bag/box. But, if you would like to race both, and would like me to do ...

No one really knows what is or is not going to happen with products at the Scout Shop. Until the bankruptcy is finalized many if not all vendors will likely rethink going into a new contract.

Preorders on Event Shirts are now open. I have a very short (till 4/20) to get this done. If you want shirt(s) please message or email me(if you have it) ASAP.

Not cheap, but yes. He has a whole group on Facebook. I can probably get you contact info. Send me an email regarding if you want me to message him on FB. And, I would love for you to email me some pictures of what you have.

I've wanted to have one make a pass, get close to finish and then when someone goes to get it back up... I've also wanted to have one sitting in the pits where people are suddenly move. If I didn't have an impassable stop section it would be cool to have one shoot off the end and make a few donuts i...

April 6 were not rules. Those were questions to mclewis_13. It has to be more than that and maybe even more then ones I posted from "the Nationals" or you will end up with Remote control cars and more. 3 1/2" is even wider than a big rig. Outside lane on one side (of most Best Tracks ...

Dang, so now it has to finish slowest, but has to cross before timer times out? Now that is going to take some engineering and testing. I do believe it may take more to engineer a slow car than a fast one. And, there certainly is a lot more available information to build a fast one. I was thinking t...

Speedster, Stay tuned. I am working on some special events. Some, I don't believe have ever been done in PWD. I would love to figure out a way to do at least 1 for prize money/fundraiser. Cars must cross finish line. I am curious how one will keep track of winner if more than one car crosses finish ...

I would love to see pics and or video of what you ran. I am assuming you ran with other cars and this was just for fun - but did it finish every race in every lane? What did the times look like? I'm working on a set of rules for a class all it's own. So, any size? Any wheels? No weight min or max? A...

I know this is and old topic/thread.

But, I would like to renew the conversation.

I am looking to do some special events.

I would love to know if anyone has a set of rules that they have raced Snail/Turtle that they could attach or email me.

Some of you may notice that the date for www.TheWestCoastGrandPrix.com is one week after Mid-America Derby. While not ideal it is what it is - long story. I'm sure, if you want to run both Mid-America and the West Coast Grand Prix and you are struggling to figure out how email me and I'll see if I c...

Speedster, much like PWD, if you Google "Space Derby" there are tons of images and there are videos you can watch. There is also the "Rain Gutter Regatta". We were going to do something similar with paddle boats in my junior high wood shop class before the world shut down for COV...

Might have to see a video or someone do this in person before I attempt. Of course, I'll want to use the Good Grips one my wife has. Then she'll be mad because I snagged one more of her best items...

That is great! Glad it all worked out and that it was a great and memorable day.
