THIS CAR HAS DISTRICT CHAMPION POTENTIAL!

HOW can I make a statement like District Championship Potential?...Here's How...  I raced this car against my nephew's District Championship Car from last year and THIS CAR WON by a very slight margin. It is a real Cub Scout Derby Cars Car flyer! Of the 14 cars that I built over my holiday vacation, four of them defeated my nephew's district championship car from 2006. My nephew is a 3 year returning District Champion!

I know a fast car when I build one!

Believe me, defeating my nephew's district championship car from 2006 is NOT an easy task. This  Blue BEAUTY is  a SUPER, SUPER, SUPER FAST CAR!

A knowledge of Physics and Car Building Experience are the keys to building the Fastest Derby Cars. Fortunately, I have BOTH! I have been teaching Physics for nearly 20 years and building winning scout Derby Cars even longer. During my summers, I even teach a Non-Credit Course in Derby Cars Physics to teenagers at the local community college. I have MASTERED the SCIENCE and ART of building Derby Cars!

I have sold over 100 documented winning cars on Ebay !--more winning cars than any other Ebay Seller!

I invite you to check my impeccable feedback! Read my buyers' comments (in the hundreds) about the track records, super fast cars, and District and Council Champions.

I am always willing to answer questions about my cars at Pikepappy@aol.com

My cars are frequently bid up to higher prices than others because I have earned a REPUTATION of EXCELLENCE! My customers tell me stories about incredible winning smiles seen on Derby Cars Race Day, and they assure me that my cars are worth every penny of their winning bids! I have now had over 60 repeat buyers---for a good reason---SATISFACTION--SATISFACTION--SATISFACTION. I would venture to say that I sell the fastest LEGAL cars on Ebay!

Why take a chance with another builder? Bid and Buy with confidence from "The Prof."  You could be the next buyer to contact me with WINNING NEWS !

I have also made and sold numerous winning cars to customers off of Ebay. My son and nephews are returning Pack, District, and Council Champions in their respective areas. Over the past 20 years, I have made over 1,000 cars.

I build every EBAY car as METICULOUSLY as I do my own son's. You WILL NOT be disappointed with THIS CAR!

Each of my cars is tested for optimum speed on my Physics Club's three-laned 34 ft. wooden track. My cars perform just as fast or faster on aluminum tracks. My cars are speed demons regardless of the track type.

Here are the details...

100% Legal BSA Grand Prix Kits

Wheels and wheel bores are smoothed and graphite polished within Pack specifications--I Do Not narrow , groove, or change the wheel shape! All BSA markings are visible and untouched!

BSA Grand Prix Kit axles are prepped and highly polished.

Wheelbase is Standard---I use the original axle slots. My cars consistently defeat extended wheelbase cars. (You don't have to extend the wheelbase if your alignment is perfect!) My cars have precision alignment !

My cars are the official length, width, and weight. (5 ounces or 141.75 grams)---checked on my triple beam balance.

My cars are ONLY weighted with TUNGSTEN Cylinders and Tungsten Putty.----a NON-TOXIC Metal that is much denser than TOXIC LEAD. (I would not want my scouts handling a car weighted with TOXIC LEAD, and you shouldn't either.) Many builders weight their cars with lead because it is cheaper. Tungsten is expensive, but by using this very dense metal, I can utilize a slim or holed body design and keep the CENTER OF MASS exactly where it needs to be.

No matter which of my designs that I use, I know the exact location to place the weight for OPTIMUM SPEED and SPEED RETENTION. You will be amazed as my car seems to GAIN MOMENTUM on the flat part of the track. When other cars slow down on the flats, my cars appear to "kick into a higher gear" and really take off to the finish line!

My cars may not have fancy air-brushed or flaming paint jobs, but they do look exceptionally nice. They maintain that basement workshop look, but they scream, "I'm ready for NATIONALS !"  I prime and sand my cars to Ultra fine 1000 grit and use top notch colorful paint for finishing. My cars are solid color beauties, so your scout can apply decals and numbers to his liking.

Your car will come all pre-lubed with MY blended graphite/molybdenum lube--a dry lubricant--legal in ALL PACKS.  Your Car will be received RACE READY. I package all cars extremely well, and I ship them ALL IMMEDIATELY !
