Is it against the rules in stock racing to either crimp the wheel hub or spread the nail in an effort to tighten the tolerances?

Not to my knowledge. I believe that either would slow you down, but I can always be wrong.

What makes you think that? I have only built one car, and it was not a speed demon, so this is all rather new to me. The after market axels are slightly larger for this reason right?
Thanks.

I have a few other questions regarding the rules.
Would the side glides be considered washers in stock racing?
Is it allowable to have a graphite reservoir within the fender that would sprinkle some graphite into the axel/wheel area? Would this be of help?
Thanks in advance.

PWDR's pure stock class allows the slide glide because its glued to the body which makes it part of the car and not considered a washer. When running graphite it is better to burnish the bores and work the graphite in before racing, fresh graphite in the bore is slower than burnished proper prepped wheel bores. Yes you can do it but its not the fastest way to go.

Thanks for the info ZZ. While I am asking questions here I would like to also know if it would be within the rules and of any benefit to allow the car to do a wheelie at the transition and have an extra wheel at the bottom back so that it would be riding on three wheels? I think this car would look so cool going down the track.

Since all the classes here run on three wheels already I don't think it would be any benefit plus I think there is to much of a chance of damaging other cars if it would come out of its lane.

Yes, that is true - but I have found that the speed of my cars decrease with the number of runs, and if I add graphite to the inner and outer hubs after six runs or so I get back speed. I only have raced two graphite cars (Spec/Tuner) and both had this characteristic. |
