Welcome to PWDRacing.com...
1. Have a desire to race gravity cars ?

3. Want to meet other racers with those same desires ?
Then you are at the right place !!
First thing to do is Register as a member. To do that, click on the Register tab at the top of the board...
Once you create an account, you will then have full access to the board.
Now, onto some of the basics:
There is a discussion board - that is where you are at.
There are no secrets - all questions get answered to the best of everyone's ability. In reality, even if you know everything about all the details, there is a certain amount of technique or art in the implementation of all the details. Many racers on this forum have been racing gravity cars for YEARS and are more than willing to share and help you learn to build a fast gravity car.
Races are held monthly.
The race day is broadcast live via the Internet. A link to the PWDRacing.com LiveStream Channel can be found here...

We race on a 3 lane Best Track with a Micro-Wizard Timer. Each car races down each lane twice. We use the 6 run average time to determine the finish order. No heats are thrown out !
Points are awarded based on how your car places. Points are awarded to the builder, not the car. Year to date points can be found here...
pwdracing.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=points
You can enter as many cars in as many divisions as you please. Only your top placing car in each division earns points.
You need several names and you get to pick you own names. . .
1. Screen Name for this discussion board
2. Builder or Team Name for tracking points
3. Car Names for each of your cars.
Cars can race forever as long as they meet the current rules. There is no time limit to how long you can race a specific car. The only things that have "seasons" are the awards at the end of the year. The season runs from January to December. We attempt to have rule changes only at the beginning of each year. . . if it is important enough we do change things as needed.
Cars are raced according to Divisions. Rules for each Division can be found on the forum.
If you need more information about PWDRacing.com you can contact PWDRacing, Mr. Slick Racing (Warren), or Evolution (Steve) through a pm on the forum.
