    brilliant idea using three wheels...less wheels = less friction on the ground = more speed!

    We should go up to the top of Mnt. Eagle - you know that big hill north of Atlanta in TN. You find your critical top speed there! :)

    If cool could have won this event, this club and car were winners, the Sock Rocket was by far the coolest soap box car at the meet and I feel like they kicked *** by getting 3rd place. Congrats guys, and thanks for a good time!
