Hey,

As I am currently building a mobile crane my mind started to drift away • from my
project and began thinking...  Has anyone tried to have "Lego Derby Car" • races
before?  Perhaps people could do it during Brickfest or another event or
whatever?  I was just wundering if anyone else has thought of this.  Maybe • we
could even make it an event at Brickfest!  I really don't have any details
because this thought just came to my mind about an hour ago.  If anyone • has any
comments please put your two cents in.

Build Well,

Erik Bush

There was (maybe still is) a Pinewood Derby type race track at LEGOLand
California.  This picture is from about four years ago:

We had a lot of fun building and racing cars although there was a chronic
shortage of wheels.  There was a similar track at the LIC in Orlando as well
although I don't recall seeing it there when I stopped by last week.

Mike
