Yeah, but I missed it. I saw the winner though--very cool. The sprung rear
suspension used rods as arms. I guess it weighed 30 or so pounds. Very
slick. The high weight (and inertia) pops a math question into my head that
I'm going to have to solve. Though after my average speed debacle I've lost
a little faith in myself--I wonder under what circumstances weight works
against you in a gravity racer--probably a specific ramp angle.

I knew I was missing a good time, but I decided to stay close to home and
run the Hershey Vintage Hillclimb.
Was there a valve cover race?
