2012 Hot Rod 66 Division Rules
1) Body
A. The main body structure must be made from wood.
B. The spirit of the Hot Rod 66 class is to build a car that resembles an old "Hot Rod". The intent of the Hot Rod 66 division is to get away from the plank/wedge designs that are so commonly used in the other divisions and to build a car with character. We require racers in the Hot Rod 66 division to stay away from the wedge/plank design and hope they enjoy building their interpretation of a Hot Rod.
C. The car body may be enhanced by the addition of other stable materials such as plastic or metal. Any additions must be firmly attached and meet car size requirements.

E. Center Rail Clearance- No less than 1 3/4 inches minimum
F. Bottom Clearance- Car must be built to clear the track center rail. The height of the center rail on the track is 1/4" tall.
