Puddle Duck World Records (discontinued)
Back in the early days when we were first getting started, there were only a few puddle ducks and many of them were scattered across the world with no other duckers close to them. We created our own idea of "world records" as a way compete against each other over long distances.
The way they worked is we would come up with a set of rules for the competition to test the abilities of the pdracer. Everyone who participated turned in their results with the honor system. The records were "reset" every year, so that way we could compete again the following year. Even though we reset the records, everyone could see the overal best record so this type of challenge has run it's course and they have been discontinued.
Now that we have members all over the world, we can focus on building local fleets and creating in person events.
