Yes, yes you will. Now that you mention it, I think I may go pick up some more purple hairspray just for the occasion.

I'm registered for the Jumpstarter race. All the jumpstarters are provided by Fred of Fred's Workshop, who runs and organizes the convention. So there really is no trick to making them going faster.
In order to win though, your jumpstarter not only needs to go the farthest, it ALSO needs to land on its feet after transforming!
Many heats have been won by the jumpstarter that goes the least distance because it was the only one to land on its feet.
The heats are also about 6 people per heat (it could very well be more with how many people are going this year). So as a point of strategy, I will tell you that getting a slow start (waiting a second or two after the green flag waves) may work to your advantage as the jumpstarters have a nack for bumping into each other and knocking each other over.
Timing of the release and the direction in which you aim it are key in successfully landing upright.

Kinda a bummer I can't use my own though.
I got one super minty and lands on his feet every time.

Fred does a survey every year. This was previously brought up before, but there wasn't enough people to race their own jumpstarters.
If you can get enough support, there could be a "modified class" for people who want to bring their own.

I've never been to a TF con, so pls forgive my innocence. Can't make Bot-Con but I'd like to try a TF con sometime, and this is right up my alley (almost literally). Thx!

Yes HHR, there is a Dairycon (Adjusted quote for the holidays ).
The convention is 1 day only, held at the Ramada Inn in Fond du Lac, WI.
There are a couple of small exclusives every year. Just go to http://www.dairycon.com and explore the site and you'll get a better idea than me trying to explain it.
