We generally race with a casual attitude at private homes.
Slot car racing is the only
form of motor sports where Drinking & Driving is encouraged.
Our rules are more SPRINT oriented than the ENDURANCE style of the commercial tracks.
Ten laps with no holds barred!If you crash,YOU ARE OUT,the remaining cars line back up for a restart,and run the remaining laps. A restart has a minimum of 2 laps .If a crash occurs on the last lap,the race is run to the end. You race 3 races in each lane(4) & then you wait(very little) until your name is up again, We go through a minimum of 2 times in a night.
The main advantage is that NO CORNER MARSHAL'S affect the outcome of the race (accidentally knocking off other cars),and that the tracks can be much more complex.(no corner marshal's spaces needed) .
The racing is much more intense!Check it out,we think you will agree.
These rules were created
about 18 years ago & have been in successful use ever since in
one class or another.
