This is my second pinewood derby car and I won the race. This car is a Norwegian flag car, complete with a piece of flagpole. I cut out the wave on the bandsaw. I put the wheels on a lethe at work and got all wheels the same diameter, put a 15 degree bevel on the inside hub and a 2 degree bevel outside to inside on the tread. It weighs exactly 5 ounces. Then I put a lot of graphite on the axles for each run. I helped Jake Winkel cut his car out and he came in second place and he was only eight years old. I will need to stop helping. That was too close.
