I won first place back in '82. Aerodynamics, wind resistance, a good wedge shape, sanded as smooth as possible, rounded, spray paint, gloss red. drill holes in evenly in the bottom, evenly, front and back. melt the lead and pour to fill, carve back excess lead. sand the wheels, round them a bit, graphite. that's how I won.
