Uh oh, It looks as though Traction Event has gone back to school to learn how to make his cars even faster!! :)

That is a pretty cool idea...so that kids can learn about the forces that are at work through play! Awesome! 

And let's face it, we're all just a bunch of big kids! :)

Makes me wish my wife still taught elementary school!

The PDF linked on the page has some great info on the physics behind the racing, with links too. Never hurts to refresh yourself on the basics. Heck, I barely understand the basics!

A lot of the doc gives teaching suggestions but all good info anyway. And if RLDers are going to be making appearances at events, knowing the information share would be a plus!
