Hot Rod 66 Cars
BODY:
1. The main body structure must be made of wood. 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 some character. Since everyone has a different idea of what a "Hot Rod" is and as a league we do not wish to stop a racers creative side. All we require from the racers who choose to participate in the Hot Rod 66 division is to stay away from the wedge/plank design and to enjoy building their interpretation of a Hot Rod.
2. Car Specs:
A. Width - Not to exceed 2 3/4 inches
B. Length - Not to exceed 6 inches
C. Weight - Not to exceed 6.0 ounces on scale accurate to 1/10 ounce.
D. Center Rail Width Clearance – no less than 1 3/4 inches.
E. Bottom Clearance - No less than 3/8 inches from track. Fender flairs with less clearance are acceptable as long as the center rail width clearance is the same in rule D.
F. Wheelbase – No wheelbase restriction.
3. The car design 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.
4. No part of the car body, wheels or attachments may protrude in front of the starting peg.
5. The body must have at least a 1"x1" area that is as high as the stock block (1.75" from the track surface with wheels on) (the idea is give some style and not a wedge). Maximum height is 2 7/8" from track surface.
6. The following items are PROHIBITED:
A. Springs
B. Starting devices or propellants
C. Electronic or lighting devices that interfere with the race electronics.
D. Liquids, wet paint, oil, sticky substance, or powders of any kind (other than axle lubrication)
E. Glass or excessively fragile parts
F. Wheel bearings
G. Loose objects on car
H. Magnets
I. No part of any car, or attachment to any car, that is metal, pointed, sharp, and/or jagged may be capable of contacting any part of the track.
7. WHEELS:
A. Rear wheels must comply with Pro-Stock Requirements.
B. Wheels must have a Minimum 24mm to a Maximum 31mm diameter.
A. Front Wheels must comply with Pro-Modified Wheel requirements.
B. Wheels must have a Minimum 24mm to a Maximum 31mm diameter.
8. There must be at least four wheels on the car, however it is not required that all four wheels make contact with the track surface. The two rear wheels must be positioned directly across the body from one another and the two front wheels must be positioned directly across the body from one another.
9. Each wheel must be mounted on an axle, on the outside of the car, in the vertical position. Each wheel must be attached directly to the car by an axle and spin freely. No part of the wheel may overlap the center guide by more than 1/8 inch.
AXLES:
10. Axles must not be connected to any device that mechanically alters rotation and spin.
12. Over-application of lubricant which results in excessive shedding onto the track is not allowed. Approved lubricants include (but are not limited to) graphite, Teflon, Nyloil, and Krytox.
13. Cars may be reclassified or disqualified if they are determined by the race officials not meet these requirements
