Fun day with Kansas City Soap Box Derby at the Pumpkin Roll. We are proud to have made the trophies and even more proud of the racers that earned them. Fun to give each division a trophy that accurately depicts their car. Each trophy represents approximately 12 hours of 3D printing time. Tomorrow’s design is even better. Stay tuned

The green and gray components were all 3D printed. Contact us if it’s something you’d be interested in for gifts or trophy’s. We are continuing to work on designs as we hope to add some fresh ideas to derby trophies at reasonable prices.

We are Akron bound as a Local Champion in masters! 3 years- 3 time Local Champion. During our trial run we measured max speed at 27mph. Not bad for a street track. Big thank you to the Mid Missouri Soap Box Derby and it’s sponsors and support by the Downtown Optimist Club.

Thanks to KCSBD in connection with Osawatamie, Kansas for a great one day rally. We can only hope the people there enjoyed it enough to do it again. Quite an undertaking bringing a race to a new town. We’re proud of our driver Owen Schilling for quickly figuring out a good path down the new hill and taking home two 1st place finishes (out of 4 masters cars). A good way to start the new season. The track/road was in great shape with a noticeable crown that made it interesting. Our computer said we got up to 24mph on our practice run.

Fun day at the NDR rally with Kansas City SBD. Got to run the computer down the track at the end of the day. Track is 930 feet measured by our wheels.
Elapsed time 24.2991seconds
Avg mph 26.09520
Max speed was 33.39934mph at the 616ft mark
which occurred 17.851 seconds into the race.
Elapsed 1st quarter 9.5963 sec crossing at 27.59951mph
Elapsed 2nd quarter 5.1406 sec crossing at 32.87790 mph
Elapsed 3rd quarter 4.7741 sec crossing at 33.25217mph
Elapsed 4th quarter/ finish line 4.7815 sec crossing the finish line at 32.13983mph.
Not a lot of drop off in speed during the last 3rd of the track. That may explain why the racers have a lot of lateral movement as they are spending a lot of time near max speed and it’s not easy to hold the line. Wish we could have gotten another run in to compare. It was a cool humid day after morning rain. Thoughts about the data?

Been a while since our last post. Been working hard developing a low cost and simple finish line timer with lane lights for racers to set up themselves. Works great. Just working on structural details and adding features.

We have data logging computers ready to ship so message us if you are interested.

Good luck at your races this spring. See you on the hills.
