Ok folks. Here we go!
Saturday JAN 14st 2023
Mail in deadline: 12 January
Please get the models in by this date. It takes time to hold the SHAKEDOWN where we tune and test the models before the race.
Our guidelines are a mix of beginner and veteran modeler skill levels. The goal is simply to get YOU involved in the fun this larger scale has to offer. Hopefully it also motivates you to start more scratch building.
ALL THE RULES ARE DISCUSSED IN THE VIDEO BELOW.
PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO WATCH.
ONE CAR ENTRY ONLY.
Entry Fee: None really. If you want to donate to the site, that would be cool. Or help with shipping costs back to you.
CHASSIS:
Brass or Steel/Brass mix only. NO plastic, wood, 3D, etc.
Scratchbuilt is the preferred choice but NOT required.
INLINE configuration.
Mixing steel and brass allowed
NO minimum weight.
Older Pro-Track or current H&R chassis are allowed. No other brands.
Track clearance: 1/8″. I will allow a little lower due to some of the chassis like H&R being in between the two heights in many cases. But IF IT DRAGS MY TRACK, NO GO.
Any motor bracket or scratch bracket allowed.
Running Gear:
Wheels will be the narrow H&R/Pro-Track “Fronts” or the new CB Design Series all around.
You can choose between smooth (ribless) wheels or the newer wheels with inner rib.
Tire width should not exceed 12.5 MM. Which will be no issue as you must use the PG Tires listed.
You can utilize 3/32 or 1/8 axle bore.
Gear ratios are your choice. I will suggest 9/27 or 9/28 as this seems the best on our size oval.
Slot.it, Scaleauto, Parma, H&R, JK gears allowed.
Guide can be larger commercial grade or any Sloting Plus, Slot.it, Scaleauto 1/32 guide.
Your choice of braid.
MOTOR:
We will be using only the 20.5K Predator Long Can.
Tires:
Only Paul Gage tires allowed on rear. Sizes 28125 or 26125
If using smooth wheels without the inner rib, 28120 or 26120
NO OTHER TIRE COMPOUND ALLOWED ON THE REAR
Older foams or older urethane/rubber allowed on fronts only.
Overall diameter should be no less than 25mm. These are not LMP or low profile type cars.
Bodies:
Common sense should be your guide. Research!
Time period: 1936 to 1958
Any American sedan 1/25th or 1/24th plastic model kit body that they used in the series.
I will suggest 1/25th. There is a difference albeit slight in some cases.
NO short box models. That means no Mustangs/Camaros, etc.
NO models that did not race in the period. Meaning no El Caminos, Rancheros, Trucks, Hearses, etc. Should not have to detail this, but here it is.
If you find a kit, simply ASK ME and I will make the call.
