6. BSA wide wheels are required for the pure stock racing category. Outer wheel surface may be lightly sanded, shaved, or polished to remove surface imperfections and mold casting burrs, but must not be reshaped in any way in an attempt to lighten the wheel, minimize tread contact or alter aerodynamics. The fluting and other BSA markings on the outside wheel area must remain visible.
7. The following wheel modifications are PROHIBITED:
A. Rounding of wheel edges
B. Grooving, H-cutting or V-cutting
C. Altering of wheel profile
D. Narrowing the tread surface
E. Drilling sidewalls
F. Hollowing, sanding, or otherwise removing or modifying plastic material from inside the wheel
G. Filling of any wheel surface with any type of material
8. There must be at least four wheels on the car, however, it is not required that all four wheels make contact with the track surface.
9. The wheels must be attached directly to axle and spin freely.
AXLES:
10. Readily available nail or pin type axles are allowed with an overall diameter of no less than .084 inches. Some polishing and/or modification is allowed as long as overall diameter is not reduced.
11. Axles must not be connected to any device that mechanically alters rotation and spin.
12. Axles must be mounted into the wood sections of car. Drilled holes or slots can be used.
13. Lubricants must be dry on the axle at race time. Wet, oily, or greasy axles are not allowed. Over-application of lubricant which results in excessive shedding onto the track is not allowed. Approved lubricants include (but are not limited to) graphite, Teflon, Nyloil, and Krytox.
