Ford - Ferrari Wars Proxy - Rules & Roster

[Audi1]

Here are the rules for the 2016 Ford-Ferrari Wars Proxy. We're keeping them pretty simple in order to provide you with an opportunity to build the car that you want the way you want it.

Scale - 1/32
Cars - Any Ford / Any Ferrari
Time period - 1960-1975 (this catches all the Ford Cobras, GT-40s and P68's and all the Ferraris from the 250 Testa Rossa up to the 312 and 512P models; including privateer entries raced after the manufacturing stopped. This period was chosen because there really weren't any Ford-Ferrari Wars that took place outside this timeframe)
Body - Plastic or resin body
Chassis - Plastic, metal or other; RTR or scratch-built and everything in between / podded and non-podded.
Tires - Rubber or urethane fronts and rears
Motor - 22,000 rpm or lower manufacturers rating
Interior - At least a driver's head, shoulders and arms with partial steering wheel and as much of the dash as goes with the driver / all glass in place / windscreens fine on roadsters
Proportions - Tires and guide not visible from above; try to keep the car looking period
Clearance - 1.0mm minimum
Weight - needs to be mounted inside the chassis/body to protect host tracks from accidental weight detachment
Numbers - duplicate numbers are OK
Designation - name and body screw adjustment information, if any, on bottom or chassis
Everything else - open

Due date for receipt at The River Run is March 31, 2016.

Limited to 2 cars per racer.

Entry fee (optional, but much appreciated) - $10.00 per car. Payment can be made by PayPal to: apjarvis@aol.com

There's still plenty of time to sign-up, select your car(s) and build it/them out, so feel free to add your name to this thread if you're interested in running in this proxy.

The shipping address for your car(s) is:

Allan Jarvis
46 River Road
Merrimac, MA 01860 USA

Tracks - we will probably have 12 tracks across the US/Canada and outside and the proxy will probably run for about 6-7 months as the cars journey from track to track. I'll be posting a list of tracks and their specs within a month.

Audi,

Put me down for a Ford GT-40, #8 to be precise.

Sounds like a FUN race.

[McLiams]

At the risk of making an assumption; this is no magnet?

Allan I will go GT 40. and good old 23 please.
Also Lake on the Mountain would be happy to host , 3 lane routed 87ish feet road course copper tape and variable power supply. I think, there are pics of it on Bob or Daves post of one of the other proxies.
Cheers
Bob

[Audi1]

Florida_Slotter, welcome! Your car and number have been added.

Bill - yup, no magnets!

Chappy, got you down as #23. Thanks for the offer on the track; I'll definitely take you up on that; looking forward to that round!

When are the Cobras going to get into this fray................??

Allan

[TuscoTodd]

Sweet deal Allan!
I am definitely in to host (PM sent) and will be looking at what I have in the way of bodies / donor vehicles for my entries - but definitely want to participate based on the "theme" and the rules above. :D
(I have another new chassis idea brewing in my head that I want to try! )
:D

[McLiams]

Allan,

Thanks. Assumed so, but stupid long days at the cat herding project sap one's (already meager) intellect.

Mc

[Audi1]

OK John and Richard, your cars have been entered on the first post of this thread.

It's kind of fun to have a car on both sides of this duel!

Allan

[jscot111]

[chrisguyw]

Hello Allan, Put me down for a single car entry........at this point I have no idea what it will be.
Likely either a Ford or a Ferrari ;)

Cheers
Chris

[gascarnut]

Allan,

Can you change my Ford entry from a GT40 to a Mirage M1, please - I am going to go for a fully South African episode of the FFW, the Kyalami 1968 9-hour endurance event. Jackie Ickx and David Hobbs in the #1 Gulf-sponsored Mirage M1 took a second successive victory for the car, and then I will stick with the #4 Gunston Ferrari 350 of Paul Hawkins that came in 3rd.

[Audi1]

Scott, got your entry listed on the first post. Welcome! :text-welcomewave:

Dave, got your GT-40 and Ferrari TBD

Chris, good to see you join in on this one! I've tentatively listed your car as a "Forrari"; giving you some latitude while you decide which side of this duel to line up on......... :lol:

Dennis........a third car...............? Looks nice and it certainly looks like it's ready to run!

Allan
