Do any of you guys do rocker racing at your events?

 And if so, do you want to share some tips ?

i have been doing this for a number of years and had lots of fun building and racing them 

I've seen them at the national conventions but not at our local events. The Boys Scouts host build pine wood derby cars usually in the winter. Similar idea. I will have to see if I can find a picture of Jacob's GTO pinewood derby car.

Did this a long time ago when I was in the scouts. Good fun. Probably the thing I enjoyed most

Enjoyed most?  Was  the reason to join.

Probably more accurate  

Like these guys do...

 

These are mine and the bosses rocker cover racers, we have had a lot of fun running these at rod runs and even at the Nationals 

i used a straight 6 gmh cover and the boss used a holden v8 one.

 hers runs skate board wheels inboard style and i went with a custom skate board bearing front and hand made rear wheel set up ( no lathe job)🙄

I am  running a plum crazy paint job and the boss went with a tampax theme !! hence the cord! both at the max weight of 10 pounds max weight under international rules  

If anyone is keen on sharing specs i am always keen to make speed improvements,

If I had to guess I would say a hard drive disk. Maybe a 2.5"?

Have my mom searching for my pinewood derby car, it's somewhere in their house  . I'll post pics if she finds it. 

Guess my mom was bored cause she found it:

I have no idea, but LOOKS like CD's glued to bearings on the backside. You can see it on the front wheel of the racer on the right.

Never heard of this before. Looks like fun for sure.
