Just wanted to introduce my son Eddie. He's an eleven year old scout from pack 389 in Maricopa and will be racing his last scout car Black Widow in the Scout class under the race name Light Speed. Full disclosure, he and I worked on the fenders together. It was the first fender build for both of us. The wheels are ours as well. He cut the tread and I cut the inside. Aside from that the build is his. Chassis build, drill, weighting, covering, wheel prep, axle prep, and test and tune were all done by him. It's been a year since he got to race and he's looking forward to seeing it run live. I'm just hoping it'll keep him interested in doing something that isn't a video game. Seeing as he's an eleven year old boy in the digital age, I've got my fingers crossed.

Shields and washers are definitely on the shopping list Turbo. His pack rules didn't allow for either so this car doesn't have them... Yet.

I want him to tune it as it is for the first couple races though because he's leaving about a hundredth on the table as it is. I know because I've played with it when he wasn't looking.

I'm hoping after this first race he'll be fired up and wanting to tweak it some more.
