The primary keys to pinewood derby speed are making the car as heavy as absolutely possible and carefully preparing the axles and wheels. You should polish the axles with increasingly fine-grit sand paper and pumice until they shine like a mirror, use the finest powdered graphite possible, sand any burs off the wheels, and make sure that everything is properly aligned. Good luck--and nice looking car!
