Here are 7 secrets to building the fastest pinewood derby car!
Get yours here: http://ow.ly/zGwP50L6a28

1. Bake your block in the oven at 250 for 2 hours, which helps to remove moisture so that you can add extra weight in the right places!

2. Shape your car for Aerodynamics. The world's most aerodynamic car designs to replicate are the Lightyear 0 or a Mercedes EQS.

3. Spend time sanding. Use a 1000 grit ultrafine carbide sandpaper. The smoother your car is, the more friction is reduced and the faster your car will be.

4. Sand and polish your wheels and axles. You can use a mini file to remove any major ridges on the axles. The less friction, the faster the car!

5 . Max your weight out at 5 ounces! Place all of the weight you can about an inch in front of the rear axle. The closer the weight to the back, the faster your car will roll but not any further back or else your car will be popping a wheelie.

6. Coat everything in powdered Graphite. On the axles, where the wheels touch the axles, and on the car itself where the wheel can touch the car

7 . Use floor wax and shine to a high-shine finish. This final coat will make your car extra glossy and even more aerodynamic!
