Sandy, We have a pack of about 30 boys in a small town of about 1500. I am the Cubmaster for our Pack and I don't get too picky with the rules. Most of the boys eventually come by my house to have their cars cut out and end up painting them there and I end up putting on the wheels. So I have not only inspected them I also help them build them. This arrangement usually works well except my son's car in not done until the day before the race because I have been busy with everyone's cars. He doesn't mind because I set aside one evening to work on his. Since we are in a small town we mak

Our Pack bought the "Stock Car" kits and used them this year. The main reason was price. The offical kit was something like $3.95 the stock car kits were $2.50. So we bought the stock car kits. These kits are exactly like the others except you get a plastic body, stickers paints and a brush. More for less!! Some of the boys used the bodies and some just used the wood block and cut their own design. We still used the 5 ounce max. weight. We are not that picky on the rules except for the weight and using the kit. Worked out just fine.

I (okay my wife) contacted a local bike shop. The staff of the shop set up and put on the roedo for our join us night. We also combined with the local boy scout and girl scout troops. It worked out very well.
