Good Read Fast Track to Success Get the authoritative lowdown for Pinewood Derby success from Troy Thorne's Building the Fastest Pinewood Derby Car (Fox Chapel Publishing). Filled with helpful graphics and super photos, the book transports you from beginning car construction to prize-winning modiciations, including infor on shaping, weighting, and axle prep. $14.95 at national bookstores., Author Troy Thorne has followed up his Getting Started in Pinewood Derby publication with a new book, Building the Fastest Pinewood Derby Car. Starting with basic design, including cutting, attachment, lubrication and balance, the new book also includes a section offering championship secrets, offering options on how to shave seconds off a race time Building the Fastest Pinewood Derby Car (Fox Chapel Publishing, ISBN 978-1-56523-764.99.2-9) is priced at $14.99., You can read my review of the other four Pinewood Derby books from Fox Chapel Publishing. What you're going to find are some of the coolest books EVER on cutting, drilling, painting, balancing, and racing a pinewood derby racer. So why another book? Glad you asked. While this new book certainly has some overlap with the other three books (mainly with advice on cutting and drilling), it's the new designs and techniques that make it a nice addition to the collection.The book uses the same cartoon character, Dash Derby, and he's got two new friends, Max Design and Professor Speed. These characters provide some fun and colorful antics to the discussions that include wheel balancing, building a test track, and using tungsten weights. There are a number of new car designs (my favorite has to be Quick Comet) - templates are provided for all of them so you can duplicate the shape and style of your favorite.Like the other Fox Chapel pinewood derby books, this one is in full color, offering super-detailed photos of the various aspects of creating a racer. I'm very impressed with the simple yet easy-to-follow instructions for using a variety of tools (some hand tools and a few machine tools). The book also demonstrates two commercially available products called Derby Worx Pro Body Tool and the Derby Worx Pro-Wheel Shaver XT - I wasn't aware of these tools but based on the photos, they appear to be providing some serious benefits with their machined bodies that are used as jigs. Pinewood Derby is going high-tech!The back cover talks about additional benefits of the book that include expert priming and painting instructions to give your car an automotive-quality finish and up-to-date materials and techniques for weighting and alignment.Building the Fastest Pinewood Derby Car is written by Troy Thorne and is 135 pages of full-color instructions., You can read my review of the other four Pinewood Derby books from Fox Chapel Publishing.

Finally, the championship techniques of the "ultimate car" are revealed, allowing builders to shave those last tenths of a second off their times and go home with the trophy., There is no secret to creating a winning pinewood derby car; all racers need is a great design and an understanding of these tips that trick their cars out for maximum speed.

- s***e (738)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzter MonatBestätigter KaufExcellent transaction, shipped promptly. All discs are in great shape. One interesting sidenote is that eBay incorrectly labeled the package as Delivered, when in fact it was still being processed. (At some point it went from Out for Delivery to being in another city about an hour away.) Prematurely designating a shipment as Delivered caused a lot of confusion. The person I spoke to at eBay didn't seem to get it. EBay needs to upgrade their code to more accurately reflect shipment status.
