[QUOTE="FireWinds, post: 294319, member: 5172"] My nephews car won 1st one year, 2nd the next. My son won 1st in the age group. The key is the weight being exactly to spec, next de burr the axles with a drill and some wet/dry sand paper. Then put graphite on all 4 wheels. Make sure there is nothing but the wheels touching the track. I also polish the wheels with 220 grit sandpaper to get the rough spots off. Then switch to 400 grit. I put the nail(axle) in the drill to polish the wheels. Follow up on the axles with steel wool to final polish using the drill. My cars always smoke the other cars. :D [/QUOTE]
