The shopbot racer with plans and all is in "project wizard". Do a search for project wizard and you should find it along with many other neat things.

Hi Martin,

If you're cutting them out of 5'x5'x1/2" baltic birch then the individual blanks should be 12" x 20" and you can get 15 blanks out of a sheet. If you are using 4'x8'x1/2" sheets then you can get 20 blanks out of a sheet...12" wide by 19.2" long.

FYI, we'll be cutting and giving away special Halloween racers (http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/details?mid=ceee46135bacd16d9a65e6220510392c) at the Austin Maker Faire next weekend.
