Classes will be: HO unlimited. Anything goes, any chassis pancake or inline, Plastic or cast type body only, no Lexan, Lexan bodies have broken on my track when trying to stop them at 50-60+ MPH, max rear tire size .650. Drag, muscle car bodies preferred. MY track has dynamic braking for 3', steel stop strips for 3' + catch box with foam and towels when needed. These cars still hit hard at the finish.
AFX/AW pancake chassis with 5.7-6.5 ohm armature. In other words the old mean green armature of which an uncountable amount still exist, including new ones. Does not have to be a mean green, just ohm out at 5.7+. Ceramic magnets only. The newer ceramic magnets are significantly stronger than the old style, I tried to not allow them, but that was unpopular for some. I have checked most of them for gauss strength so I have an idea of what they should read. Basically, this class is our old Pro street outlaw class. A pretty low cost to run class.
Drag or muscle car bodies preferred, but if all you have is something else you can still run.
I will be checking the overall WINNERS armature ohms and magnets by disassembly. If that is a problem don't send your car in.
2 traction magnets. Wheelie bars recommended. Shunts and braid OK. Rear tire max .610. Minimum weight 21 grams. I am not that worried about traction magnets. Let's not get rule happy here. Remember this was supposed to be something we do for fun.
As usual I will not be entering my own race. I used to run in the Unlimited since no one else ran that class, but I will not run in that either.
2 cars per class.
PSO and 4GO list races will be held after the event.
