Steve and Little Man...they did a great job on the car.

I helped cut out the flames that he used on his car. He asked me to paint 'Vader' on the back of the car in gold.

Waiting for his opponents...

Ready to race!

His car came in second place in 4 heats. Not bad for his first year! He was thrilled to race and win the 'Most State of the Art' car category.

Here's the video of one heat.
