I have seen some of the vendors say, "These are the NEW wheels". I don't see anything new about them other then some might Glow in the dark or be a color that was not offered in the past. What am I missing?
Derby Evolution is listing 2, 3, 6, 8, 15 as Preferred wheels. I know there are thousands of you following your strict rules and buying these wheels. Do the new colors actually use brand new molds or do colors still not make any difference in performance?
What's the best number to buy?
If you are in the Lake Erie Council in Toledo, Ohio I won't listen to anything you have to say because you are my scouts competitor. OK, I'm kidding about that. I thought I might be able to make everyone smile.
I've been invited to give a talk on the Physics of the Pinewood Derby at a cutting clinic tomorrow. I will have my display set up all day. It is being offered by a Carpenters Union to a local Boy Scout Troop and 350 scouts are expected. They have 12 bandsaws set up. This is going to be exciting.
