M&M,
Yeah, the reason I got the job is because I have done this a few times. We get pretty elaborate with the air brush and have a lot of fun. Two years ago my now 11 y.o. son and I finished 2nd, so it seemed natural that my grandson wants a piece of the action. As I discovered, through trial and error, the secret of success is the axles, wheel ballance, total wt. (exactly 5 oz.) and ballast placement. Aside from my passion for the Cobra I am a modeler (R.C. giant scale aircraft) so this is really fun.
Cheers, Bish
