Funny memory, when I was a kid and in the Cub Scouts.......say about 1967-68, we all got the PWD kit in a milk carton. I think the only rule was that they could not weight over a posted weight.
Anyway, I sanded off the corners, painted it and installed the wheels. I remember my dad helping me add weight ( lead from the top of wine bottles ). Then, when we were about to go to the big race, my dad's carpenter friend suggested we put some graphite on the wheel hubs. We did.
At the race, most of the cars were a work of art and looked super fast. My car looked like a painted block of wood with wheels. Nobody could touch my car, it never got beat all day. I came home with the trophy.
