Pinewood Derby alignement tool: The new Pro Rail Rider tool(TM) will help car builders get the ultimate alignment on their pinewood derby car for top performance. The video shows both how to use the tool and how to adjust the car for proper set-up.
@Tetonman714 I think he just mis-spoke the last 2 times. Watching the video, it looks like he meant to say "so that the dominant wheel turns towards the rail" not the car turning towards the dominant wheel.
Self-confessed rookie here, but I'm confused. The beginning of the video says to bend the *dominate* wheel so the wheel steers towards the rail (which would be towards the non-dominate wheel), but later (around 5:15) you state 2x that the car should steer *towards* the dominate wheel. Am I mistaken or overlooking something? Otherwise great video.

Excellent - I learned something here. Great speed tip on keeping the rear wheels away from the track
