Rules
Please show respect:
1. Drivers & spectators are expected to show respect for others and display sportsmanship throughout the contest.
2. Abusive language or profanity will not be tolerated.
3. Horseplay which poses risk to contestants/spectators or the race facility will not be tolerated
4. No drinks or food allowed near the tracks
During racing:
1. Drivers must turn marshal during their sit-outs or otherwise when called upon by the race director. Drivers who either DNF or DQ are expected to turn marshal the remainder of their race.
2. During lane change cars must remain at the track, except when a car is already in the pits. At the track, only guide or body straightening, braid check or replacement, body pin/clip check permitted
3. During track call only guide or body straightening permitted
4. Car repair during the race allowed but must have begun when track power is on.
5. No car substitution permitted. The result is black flag and immediate disqualification.
Track calls are permitted only for:
1. Braid up
2. Track equipment failure
3. Debris on track
4. Un-marshalable car, i.e., a car de-slots and stops in an area not readily accessible to a turn marshal. [Note: a car landing on the floor does not necessarily constitute a track call.]
5. Rider in lane
Race format:
In recent months, we have run two-person team enduros (5-minute heats) to ensure an adequate number of turn marshals during each heat. However, if race turnout is sufficient, we will run as individuals. The racing point system, described below, applies only to individual racing.
Teams are decided by drawing lots.
European-style lane rotation: Red->Green->Blue->Purple->Black->Yellow->Orange->White
- All cars must pass technical inspection prior to racing. Cars will be impounded following tech.
- Cars must pass generally-accepted USRA rules for max width (3.25"), max height (2.5" for wing cars), and min rear clearance (0.062")
- Each car must have a painted body with three distinct decals or painted numbers.
- No part of chassis may be visible when viewing car from above
- A painted driver, plastic or paper, is optional

Flexi-Class Specifications
Slot car bodies are changed on a regular rotation basis using body-styles such as GT-1, GTP, or NASCAR. Even semi-truck bodies have been used.
This practice keeps the racing very affordable, fun, and interesting by varying the body, not the underlying slotcar, Drivers must master the nuances of each body style used, including inherent aerodynamic/handling differences.
F1/Indy series is run on a rotation basis with open-wheel Dirt Late Modified and Go-karts.

- 4" commercially-available stamped metal flexi frame. Manufacturers include JK, Kelly & Proslot, Champion, Parma, and Mossetti. F1 must use a JK F1/Indy car flexi frame. Acceptable frames include the JK Aeolos and Mossetti Patriot Striker and Defender chassis.
- No frame cutting, may solder motor in place, motor brace permitted. Pin tubes permitted.
- Commercially available light pans permitted
- May use lead weight
- All series except GT-1 and GTP require a Hawk 7 motor. GT-1 and GTP must use one of the sealed FK-style motors. Acceptable FK motors are the Proslot 4002-FK, Hawk 7, Hawk Retro, Demon and Evil 9, and Falcon 7 and TSR motors. (Demon, Evil 9, Falcon, and TSR motors are currently out of production and have very limited availability.) Excluded is the JK Hawk 6 motor, since it is not sealed.
- Must use 64-pitch pinion and spur gears.
- 3/32" solid rear axle required.
- Front tires are optional. If not used, car must have front-wheel decals in place. If used, 3/8", 1/2", or 5/8" fronts, including stubbies are permitted, but not wing car thingies. F1 must use JK F1 fronts with full solid axle.
- Currently approved 4" body appropriate to body style being used in a series. No aero-effect modifications or add-ons permitted, except Retro and Modifieds (1/2" rear air dam permitted in each instance). Top of the rear of the body must not be higher than 1-5/8"
