As a Pack, the main points that we are interested in are weight and size. 

The dimensions should be:

• Wheelbase: Is approximately 4 3/8” (113 mm). The original kit axle slots must be used. Please check the slots to ensure that each is at a perfect 90-degree angle to the car body. You can check the groove angles by using a square, a protractor, or even a piece of paper. Lay a square on block to check for squareness and alignment of slot. “Use two hacksaw blades side by side to redress the slots. Use the edge of the square as a guide” 

• Wheel distance: Approximately 1.75” between the wheels

• Overall Width: Not to exceed 2.75”

• Overall Length: Not to exceed 7”

• Overall Height: Not to exceed 4”

• Chassis Clearance: 3/8” minimum is recommended to clear the track. Any car with less clearance will be checked on the track to ensure that there will be no interference with the track.

• Overall Weight: Not to exceed 5 ounces (142 grams) – official scale is final

Weight Tips:

You want the weight to be as close to 5oz as you can get, without going over!!  Tungsten weights are the easiest and take up the least room but lead fishing weights will work too. 

Pennies, coins, etc. are not good weights.  They're just too lightweight and take up a lot of space!

For Parents/Siblings

There will be a Family and Friends heat(s) for any cars they want to enter.  You will have to supply your own car!

For those extra cars, OR if you want a specific body type and don't have the tools to cut it out, OR for various weights, you can purchase all kinds of kits parts, and weights from basic to specialty body type at Hobby Lobby, the Scout Shop, or simply on Amazon. 

TROPHIES

Each Den will have a 1st and 2nd place trophy. 

There will be a 1st and 2nd place over ALL.

There will be a separate 1st place (only) for Family/Friends races.
