There is a "Master" competition where the dads and moms can build a car to compete.
I'm with you there. Me and my buddy have been talking about this for the last month. It kinda succs cause it obvious who built some of the cars. I'm talking about the cub scouts, not this YMCA thing, I don't know what this will be like. Extreme Yuppyness I suppose.
It's like steroids in sports, if five guys use them and get a huge edge, everyone who wants to remain competitive has to use them. It just screws up everything.
I'm just not sure how much a petite little 5 year old princess ballerina girl can do. She really wants it though. The girl loves speed, and I swear it's not my fault! LOL
I'll let her paint and sand, It's wrong for me to polish her axles?
