This would certainly be unique. I assume, Paul, that when you say 'I' you
mean 'my son and I'... Of course, the cars are supposed to be built by the
boys with parental assistance.
Having recently moved on to Boy Scouting after 6 years as Cubmaster, I
speak from personal experience after seeing cars that were not built by
boys - in some cases the boys were not allowed to handle 'their' cars - as
well as various nefarious methods of weighting them - including the one
with mercury inside it. (That wasn't much fun when it leaked out all over
my hands.) I was always a bit of a hard-ass with the parents when I saw
cars that the boys obviously had no involvement with... We would always
let them race but I made it clear to the parents that they could not
repeat that performance the following year.
Best and fastest 'car' I ever saw was a skateboard design with all of the
weight down low right above the wheels.
