UPDATE
Track will be Carerra 1/24: 25 13in straights will provide 27 feet of track.
— Carerra track is typically deep enough to take wood track guides. If not, I will obtain sufficient plastic guides for people to use.
3 Classes will exist – detailed rules posted at a later date
— Super stock: Similar to SlotIt Challenge rules. Orange-bell. Open tires and gears.
— Pro-Stock: Similar to Can-Am and TransAm rules. Up to Red-bell motor or 30k motor any brand. Lexan interiors allowed.
— Comp-Eliminator:
~~ 1/32 cars can have up to a 50k NSR long-can motor; open gearing and tires, lexan interior. Anti-wheelie device required (I will make wheelie ‘cards’ or wheelsets for 1/32s.
~~ 1/24 BRMs and ScaleAutos can have up to 50k motor long-can motors. (A good excuse to use your BRM inline chassis.)
~~ 1/24 Parma metal chassis stock drag cars with lexan bodies are allowed – but must race similar cars. (Group-7 and G-12 motors not allowed.) Foam tires&wheels must be replaced by H&R tires&wheels or equal (https://www.professormotor.com/H-R-Racing-Brand-s/171.htm) Wheelie wheels required.
~~ Custom built chassis/cars also allowed but must race cars with similar motors. Parma death-star motors preferred. Rubber tires (BRM, H&R or similar) are required. Wheelie wheels required.
Indexed/handicapped matches (based on ET) will help equalize cars with close but not similar performance. Handicapps will be determined by qualifying runs held a few weeks earlier than the actual finals. A bracket system will ensure everyone races everyone else in their class at least once. 3 Marshalls will be needed for every match.
