I’m curious…. If you have a weigh station (as I would presume they do), how does one hide weights (gravity gets everywhere)? And what does an electromagnet do for you?

The first pine wood derby I ever did the car didn’t even make it to the finish line. Me and my dad started researching and figured out how to make it go fast and our family ended up winning like 9 in a row. Family of 4 boys so a continuous loop haha. One year this other dad got caught with 2 cars. He had one for the inspection and then had a second, heavier car that he tried to switch out before the races began but got caught. That whole family was such a piece of shit.

It makes me think of the South Park episode where Randy puts a superconducting magnet in a pinewood derby car, and discovers warp speed.

Is there a writeup?

This might be an inspiration.
