Yeah, kind of unfair with an engineering background vs 8 year olds. But this is America. My 8 year old was stoked.

Not gonna lie, I can’t wait to do it myself. I have a lib arts background, so I’ll be leaning on YouTube when my time comes.

By engineering background, you mean Mark Rober video don’t you?

A lot of the cars have those characteristics he says to do now and changing the rules to prevent some of them is hilarious. Just saying all 4 wheels must be flat on the ground fricks up people’s worlds.

When I was a wee lad my best buds dad was an engineer at NASA. He would take our axle nails to work and have them turned to perfect concentricity by the machinists that built the shuttle. We kicked arse every year.

Those cars probably had $20,000 of taxpayer funded work done on them.

Super fun. It was my son's first intro into engineering design. Highly recommend.

Back in the dad my dad and a mechanic friend designed mine.

Blue collars can dominate, too, because there's usually only 1 parent per pack that cares as much

I’m sure the trailer hitch nuts slowed the competition.
