2005 Pack 4 champion. This was Joe's first car. I built one identical to it as Joe built this one. We did it side by side. However, I did not let my 7 year old use the scroll saw.

3rd place finisher at the 2005 Council Scout-O-Rama race. Joe never lost to the 2nd place finisher. A draw down/double elimination format was used. Joe also beat the eventual champion 2 of 5 times. He and the first place finisher were "Smokin" that day. We can't wait till next year.

WIRL Stock car-"Shere Khan". (6-2005) Our first time out in WIRL we finished 7th with a combined 6 run total of 18.919 seconds. Remarkably, if we had entered in March we would have won with that same time.

WIRL Stock car: "X-L-R-8-R". It has a dissapointing first race. It did however outperform Shere Khan in testing. Back to the drawing board. September 05: We are giving this car a complete overhaul in hopes to race it in October

July 05:Our first WIRL Modified: "L-M-N-8-R". Notice the extended wheelbase and ultra thin wheels. Modest results first time out in a heavy field. August 05...We trimmed .02 seconds average off our run times.

"Gone", Fall 2005 WIRL entry. The yellow wheels were made by Mike Parrish a fellow WIRL competitor.

New for 2006 "Problem Child" it ran an Average 3.083 on 6 runs at WIRL. Good enough to finish 7th in a very close competition.

The pack had sibling race in which my 3 year old daughter Molly raced. OK I did build this one which was clearly the 2nd fastest car in the building that night second only to Joe.

Joe, Ahem, blew away the competition at the pack's Raingutter Regata. The closest competition was half a track behind.He was the proud winner of a Cub Scout canteen.
