I agree. Crap like this defeats the enitre pupose of the excercise. Our pack committee has actually considered that all race entrants turn in the remaining saw dust and scraps of wood from thier cars as proof that the car was built at home and not bought. But instead of doing that, last year we started a Derby Car building clinic for our pack. We will set aside an enitre Saturday prior to our race and all the adults will bring what ever tools they have. (hand drills, bandsaws, belt sanders, scrollsaws, rasps and fils etc.) We will set everything up in the basement of the church. We all build our cars together in an afternoon. This way all the kids have the same advatage and the same opportunity to build a car with thier parent. At the same time we can work on level requirements and electives in the scout books for advancement while building the cars.
