Rubber Band Car!
« on: August 25, 2008, 08:10:02 PM »
I was curious to find if anyone saw the rubber band car running under it's own power? If so did it make it to the course (short course I presume)? Have I fallen for an online prank and thier realy is no rubber band powered car?

#7796 is "Danny Boy Too" a "F Lakester"...I don't think "F" means rubber band unless some one was pulling a "propster" on you They made quite a few passes according to the SCTA BNI web site................................
