Very kewl!

Wanna make that sucker alot faster down the ramp? Grind off all the plastic tire treads and inside plastic wheel hub so that the tires are, essentially, a knife-edge on the outside leading edge of the "tires". Reduces the rolling-resistance to almost zero! ... and he can't be disqualified for doing so! Also make sure those nail-axles are super polished, toleranced to individual "tires", and loaded with graphite!

Keep us updated!

thanks fellas. Ive polished the axles with mothers and a dremel tool. I think his pack rules prohibit us from doing anything to the wheels besides paint and sanding minor imperfections. I did buy some graphite tho. I think there is more loss from rolling resistance rather than aerodynamics so im gonna make it roll as efficiently as possible.
