Race Day Prepared

1. Have extra axles and wheels on hand. Scouts will want to show off their handiwork to their friends and you never know which car may be dropped when they do.

2. Have a derby tool kit handy. It should include superglue, sandpaper, a drill, extra screws for your weights, extra weights, a small screwdriver. You may not use it, but it will make you the most popular person at the event.

3. Transport your car in a shoebox. Dropped cars are unfortunately a too common experience.
