I'm trying to figure out the different classes and what's allowed and what isn/t.... In Novice and Limited, you cannot have lightened wheels, correct? In Stock, you can have lightened wheels? Novice and Stock have no limits on wheel base, but Limited requires the BSA wheelbase. All three limit axle diameter, ie no needles. Is this correct?

Novice and Limited = no lightened wheels Stock = lightened wheels or SS wheels by DerbyWorx wheelbase is correct except for the fact the in Limited the WB can be moved back but distance must be maintained. Axles = commonly refered to BIG axle cars (BSA or Awana or Speed axles OK) so NO needle axles allowed in these 3 classes

Hey 3cubdad:
One minor clarification -- in "Limited" the wheelbase may be relocated, but my not exceed 4.5". That is slightly different from the stock BSA wheelbase, which I believe is closer to 4 3/8". Unless I'm mistaken the reason for allowing 4.5" instead of requiring 4 3/8" is two-fold: First, to allow for slight variations in blocks (BSA blocks are not all identical), and second, to accommodate PineCar blocks which are precut with 4.5" wheelbases. Just thought I'd throw that in.
If I am mistaken, I hope someone will correct me.
