All these 'tricks' reminds me of the similar 'full size' (kids inside) Derby races.

I guess they used to use metal 'stops' (held the car in place at the top of the hill, then fell away to start the race). A clever guy (and his kid?) put a electromagnet/battery in the nose of the kids car. Video tape of every race he was in showed the car launch like a scalded cat as the falling steel plate pulled the front of the car forward as it fell. Amusing stuff.

Isn't it supposed to about the kid getting some life experience?

(gee dad ...is this cheating?) Duh.
