Ok, so I went and pitted for my buddies 7 year old yesterday at the local cub scout pinewood derby, and I gotta tell ya, one thing I saw just epitomized the ignorance and stupidity of some people beyond belief. This guy was a leader of the pack (no pun intended) and the official starter for the heats.
So this ignoramus is sticking the kids cars on the track, and when his kid's car comes up, what do you think this moronic buffoon does before placing it on the track? Pulls out the tube of graphite from his pocket, squirts it on all his kids axles, then carefully places it in perfect alignment, taking extra care to make sure its as straight as can be, even bending down to rifle sight it down the track. Meanwhile, everyone else's car just gets dropped on the starting line.
We all saw it, you could not miss it. Great thing was, his kids car came in no better than third in any of the heats, so it did not do him any good going those extra lengths to gain an edge. But man, some people.
It was actually quite funny in the end.
