A great episode Andy and Todd!
This episode had it all! Even a trip to the ER!
Hopefully your boy is ok and they were only 2nd degree burns.
I am glad to hear that you guys will be headed out to Omaha!
It sure sounds like Greg Dawes and the Omaha Boys have outdone themselves again this year!
Now then... ley's get down to business here...
Greg Dawes mentioned a bunch of new things for the most anticipated event of the derby season...
One of which is a broadcast studio set up for you to deliver play by play and podcasts about the MidAmerica Pinewood Derby...
Please tell your audience that you will be taking Greg up on this generous offer.

Andy,
I can call into the MA's to help out with some golf commentator whisper play-by-play.
Just throwing that out there...

I suppose that I could try, VK... although... it doesn't seem like nearly as much fun that way.
You know what cracks me up?
Here is Greg Dawes taking up the baton of ushering new fellas into the leagues... so that the leagues will finally have a decent sized crop for the year...
and instead of giving Greg some breathing room, the leagues all gang up their races as to obstruct this plan.
NPWDRL is the only group of fellas that seem to understand what is at stake here... I am happy to see that they had the foresight to schedule their race AFTER the MA's.
The MA's is the one best place to get new fellas racing in the leagues...
You would think that the leagues could stop squabbling over their small slices of the pie long enough to try to grow the pie as a whole.

Not even all of the MNOP guys seem supportive of Greg's efforts. Derbychip drops in to share all of the work they're doing to provide a squeaky clean track for the Pros to race on, and the response is very "meh." Honestly, the biznatching over having to race in the same venue as filthy, graphite-y Scout cars sounds like it's just noise planted by somebody who doesn't want Greg's pro-race efforts to do well.

First off... Guys like Mojo and Mr. Chips are NOT NPWDRL guys... They are fully pushing for DerbyDad to have the largest slice of this minuscule pie... and the entire hobby has to pay the price for their allegiance... but I like to think that most fellas find their badmouthing of the MA's to be as transparent as clear acrylic.

I agree with you guys. Reading some of the miscellaneous posts in the forums, you get the feeling there are several folks hoping that Greg has a very bad turnout on the pro side of his race this year. Even trying to affect the proxy scout turnout.
Fortunately for Greg, the pros aren't the main focus of what he/they are building there. They can't hurt him no matter what they do.
I honestly wish he would just tell them to go to hell and do his own thing. Just leave them on the sidelines. They need him way more than he needs them. No matter what they think. When they try crawling back, tell them, keep going.

I went to the PWD shop with my son tonight to tune his car for Districts. I met a dad who was tuning his car and was heading down live to Omaha to the race. He got DD $45? Wheels more than one set and his drill jig....I was thinking on the way home that DD should really be very grateful for Greg's efforts. Interesting that Greg's COUNCIL might get 10 per entry, but DD gets 45 plus per entry...well, now they don't want to support it. It's a crime. I'm sending 4 pro cars and my son's scout car down there. Too much going on to make good cars, so I have an easy target on my back. I like Joel and plan to send into his league if I can make a decent car. I will be interested to see the actual turnout numbers.

I feel like a rebel for liking your podcast. I'd feel like the lone Ranger if it were not for Skywalker. People sure don't seem to be vocal about this event. Todd..get off your butt and make a car for your kid and bring him home a trophy!!!!! What the hell is wrong with that? Doesn't he help at all?
I have not heard the whole episode and so I don't know about the hospital thing yet.

Everyone already knows that all of the fellas are just sandbagging... it will be a full turnout but nobody has the balls to say that they are going. Weak sauce.

It wasn't an ambulance...it was an Acadia. Let's not start exaggerating the story.
