After 20 years, returning to the track

[kcarchitect]

So, I haven't built a car since I was in cub scouts. I was very excited to have a Tiger cub this year and even more so to serve as their den leader. After getting online to do some research I couldn't believe how much derby has changed and how much it's stayed the same. A lot more high tech now but still about spending time with a kid doing something that's fun. We had a blast, I wanted to post a few pics of his car and mine. Pretty proud of him for his first year, he got some help from dad on the fenders but did a majority of the details and most of the paint work all on his own. (Special thank you to the dremmel corporation and Dupli-Color for making it look easy.) Got lots of great information from this site, Thank you to all the members who have shared knowledge, wisdom, help, and expertise.

You've found a great site, and a great source of valuable information for the next 5 years of Derby racing.

My boys bridged over to Boy Scouts last year, and I learned most of what helped us succeed in the Derby here on this site. Great people and great information.

And good for you for volunteering to be their Den Leader! I was my twins Den Leader for 5 years, and while it was demanding at times, I wouldn't trade the experience for anything.

Use the Search feature on this site, and you'll be building blazing fast cars with your son in no time.
