Scale paint jobs are recommended (we all use them at present). Track power is reduced for this class.
GENERAL
Cars must not have features likely to damage to the track. Neither the gear nor the endbell bracket fixing screw (such as fitted on Flex 2 chassis) may protrude below the bottom of the chassis.
Pin tubes or body fixing may be added to the standard body fixing holes in the chassis
Any minor variations on the guidelines will be at the discretion of a majority of club members
RACING
Each driver will have a 3 minute race on each lane.
The Qualifying order will be calculated on a drivers best 2 runs (minus their handicap on handicap nights).
Everybody will have at least one 6 minute final. (Handicaps will apply to finals on handicap nights). The first 1or 2 (depending on the number present) move up from the slower final to the next final and so on to the top final.
Handicaps will be adjusted after each race night to produce racing as close as possible. Each class is run with alternate handicap and scratch nights - see the club calendar.
