Ok...here is one of my first Mods to making this a "Down Hill BEAST". Went to Walmart last night and bought some fishing weights, and packed it full. Saturday I'll be doing some testing to see if this makes any difference. Post some pictures of your Modify Lead Sleds!

Whoa! That is some serious weight gain. How long of track do you have set up?

37 feet total...the starting ramp is at 6 ft and it slopes down 13 ft...it should be making some good speed by the time it reaches the end of the ramp.

I'm placing a bag of rice in the stop box to help cushion and stop the car...the stop box will hold its own...or I'll just get some more glue & tape to hold it together.

Wad or roll up some micro fiber towels - they are soft and absorb a lot of speed!!!

How fast is it compared to a Johnny Lightning BWF '69 Camaro?
