Re: physics behind Pinwood derby

What makes a Pinewood Derby car a winner?

A Pinewood Derby car is a winner if:

it makes a boy proud of his accomplishment;
it brings a parent and son closer together by working together;
it brings a smile to a boy's face;
it brings an otherwise absent parent out to a pack event;
it teaches a boy some skills in working with tools;
...

Would anyone else like to add a few?
