CAR CLASSIFICATION RULES
At 8/25/2005
"Spec" races will be planned that are exceptions to these rules, such as "Box Stock With Silicones" or "SuperStock Without Magnets". See Race Schedule for specifics on class rules for a specific date's race. Rules published for specific race take priority over rules below in cases of conflict.
BOX STOCK: Car must be run as it came from original packaging, replacement parts can only be same as what came with original packaging. The following modifications to correct manufacturing defects can be made:
* Sanding of tires for roundness
* Adding spacers to rear axle to reduce excess lateral movement of axle/gear/wheel assembly
* Gluing of original interior or exterior components to restore original condition/position
* Gluing of motor shaft bushings or wheel bushings
* Gluing of hubs on original axle
* Gluing of stock tires on original hubs
* Wheel wells may be slightly trimmed if original stock tires in original position binds against body
* Guide can be shaved if track depth is too shallow (for example: Ninco guide on Scalextric Classic track)
Painting and/or decals may be applied to cars. If car chassis has a removable magnet that can be placed in more than one position as provided by manufacturer, magnet may be placed in either of those positions. In case of Carrera and Monogram cars, or others that have "adjustable" magnets (not removable), magnet can be slid into any position allowable within the restraints of the magnet mount. In either case, magnet must remain parallel to track, flush with chassis if external. If an additional magnet comes with car but is not installed (ex: Scalextric Sport extra disc magnet), it cannot be used in box stock, but may be allowed in a "spec" race.
SUPER STOCK: Box Stock rules plus:
* Silicone tires allowed
* Third party wheels (hubs) may be used
* Wheel wells can be enlarged to accommodate tires, but car body must cover tires when viewed from above.
* Lights can be added to cars if not already installed. Lights must draw less than 25% of track power supply's available amps on a 4-lane laout. Rear lights should be red where possible.
* Car maximum width is such that no part of car extends to the center point of a straight track section 's width. Specific widths for each manufacturer track in the group to be published.
* Car maximum height must be such that it will pass through all overpasses on hosting track.
NO-MAGNET CLASS (to be ratified) Super Stock rules plus:
* All magnets MUST be removed from car except motor magnets
* Cars that come with motors rated 22,000 RPM or greater not eligible
* Silicone tires MUST be used
* Any wheels, silicone tires, gears, axles, bushings, guide flags and/or braid can be used
* Any amount of weight may be used, but MUST NOT add to length, width or height of car
* If weight is added to underside of car, it MUST NOT touch track rails, and MUST be secured by adhesive
* Car MUST NOT utilize more than 25% of amperage available on power supply of hosting track
MODIFIED: Super Stock rules plus below changes resulting in car drawing less than 25% available amps:
* Additional magnets can be added inside chassis, or external magnets must be flush with bottom of chassis
* Chassis may be lightened, but chassis must remain one piece.
* Body may be lightened, but must retain original external appearance (painting, details allowed).
* Car body interior for closed cockpit cars can be removed partially or in total.
* Open cockpit cars must have interior
* Third party crown and pinion gears can be used
* A selection of motor/motors comparable RPM and torque ratings shall be published for racers to choose from
