Just got my latest Wood magazine and couldn't wait! A woodworker made a wooden sports car that can do 200mph!

Now we need to get together and all of us fire up our machines and make a faster one! Or we could all make pine wood derby cars and race!!!

Wow! It looks like the ultimate California Woody,
But where do you store the Cooler and Surfboards on it?? http://www.carvewright.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_confused.gif

Actually, in the article it states the wood has a strength to weight ratio superior to aluminum, steel and fiberglass. Plus it was built in North Carolina by Joe Harmon a North Carolina State University graduate student, in his backyard shop!

At over 200 miles an hour whatever it was made of if it catches fire you are toast!
