My Eliminator "Iggy B" at the last race finished in the middle of the pack. Thanks to a former racer from the APR league, now retired, was nice enough to point me in the right direction to finding more speed using Jewkes razor wheels. He shared knowledge about prep procedures, products and techniques.

Now I just need to figure out how to apply all of this knowledge.

You also know a Eliminator National champ that could offer some insight. This sounds like a great topic to discuss at the live round table!

LOL... I've been trying to pry that insight out for a couple of years now!

Hey George the 2nd

. Nice Car! I plan on getting one together to race soon. Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is George Webber and yes I am from San Francisco but I'm an accountant by day and Illustration and Pinewood Derby are my hobbies.

George, I saw your car posted on other forums. I cannot give you any help on your Eliminator wheels but that is one very sharp looking car. You need to enter it in the Showstopper contest. It would get my vote.

Show Stopper Contest sounds interesting, where is that or where can I find info?

Hey George the 2nd

Interesting .. What kind of illustration do you do, do you race in San Francisco someplace?

If you send a car in to race at a monthly race, you also have the option to enter it into the monthly Showstopper contest.

It depends on what type of eliminator wheel you are running. The acrylic wheels will normally have an insert.
The X2 wheels do not.
