We only have one steering wheel controller for the Wii and when we play together, I don’t get that one. I find my real world experience as a driver actually hinders my playing ability. Steering with a horizontal wand doesn’t feel natural.
There’s a paved path about a mile around the soccer fields and baseball diamonds. Normally, I walk out there as part of my Weight Watchers goal and general Beatles-like desire to be “half the man I used to be”.
Friday night, we tried the car out on our “test track”. We rolled it back and forth on the kitchen floor. We have a grid pattern in the tile and could tell if the car tended towards the right or left. A careful whack on one wheel or another with a ball peen hammer slowly brought the car into alignment.
Everything was done by the book at the Pinewood Derby. They inspected it for illegal axles and wheels. I think we also got express written consent from Major League Baseball… just to be on the safe side
