Sounds good, I like me a good auction! I might go with you and give John a hand!
BJ, I would like nothing more than to hang out with you this weekend. But when it comes to a pine wood derby thats a special day for those boys. I remember them very well. Make sure that car is right on the 5oz mark with not to much weight in the front or it will get loose in the back end and slow it down. Good luck!

Thanks guys I'd love to hang out with you all to but I know this means a lot to my grandson. It's his first and my first ever derby. We worked together on his car. We picked out a hot wheels car he wanted to make and I put pencil marks on the block of wood for him to file off. I did a little touch up but he did most of the work. He took it home to sand and paint it. Seems like on my freebie scales it's going to need close to a oz of weight yet. It might pick up some with paint but probably less than sanding will remove. Looks like we'll have to add a little.
Thanks again have a great time

BJ, Ive glued on fishing sinkers for head lights, tail lights and spoilers! Good luck! Let us know how it goes.
Oh and make sure you put some graphite on the wheels. Make sure they spin freely without a wobble!

Now problem bud, Ive done several of those pine wood derby races.
Whats funny is that the kids that don't do any but put the wheels on their square cars usually do really good. But evey little bit helps.
