Hey guys, I have 3 cars ready to ship to Apple Valley for this weekend and I'm slightly confused with the rules on each class. I have obvious negative camber on a car, quite visible to the naked eye on the DFW. Is this acceptable and for which class? It has stock BSA wheels and extended base. I really appreciate any and all responses as I need to get this baby shipped today!
Thanks! Good Luck to all Racers!

Sappington, canting is allowed in all classes. With the bsa wheels and extended wheelbase, you could run in all classes except limited and hr66.

Parrot is correct Sappingtonr, you can have canted axles in all the divisions at PWDRacing !! Since the car has stock wheels and extended wheelbase (and since you are a new racer) it would qualify for the Novice Division. It would also qualify for the Stock Division, but, without lightened wheels it would VERY hard to compete !! Good Luck this weekend !!

Hey Sappingtonr:
I think I know where your confusion is. Canting is allowed if you are merely angling the axles. What is prohibited in all wide wheel classes is canting the wheels. The distinction is this -- In the first case (canting by angling the axles), the wheels have flat tread that is parallel to the wheel bore. By angling the axles the car will ride on the edge of the wheels thus reducing wheel to track contact, but the diameter of the wheels remain constant along the entire width.
In the later case (canting the wheels), the tread is machined at an angle so that the wheels have a larger diameter on one edge than on the other. By canting the wheels they will ride on an edge even if the axles are in a neutral position. To my knowledge wheel canting is not allowed in any wide wheel class in any league.
Ordinarily the term "canting" when used without a modifier, refers simply to angling the axles. But when it is used in the context of prohibited wheel modifications it means machining the wheels so that the diameter of the tread is larger on one edge than on the other.
Does this help???
