Thanks Caffienator.The car is 4.99 oz. It goes so straight that it exactly stays next to a line in the kitchen floor for over 15 feet.
We just helped a friends kids in another pack and they got 2 trophies last night.
The weight in the far back makes the weight travel further down the sloped part of the track. The light front with wheels pushed forward makes for easy direction changes due to the extra leverage and low mass.
