Guidelines for Cars used in Club Racing

On we race the following classes (see the club calendar for dates.)

1/24 SALOON CLASS

Parma Flex 2 chassis

Parma 1/2 inch front wheels

48 pitch gears, 9 tooth pinion with 31 or 29 spur gear

1/8 inch diameter rear axle

Ordinary Parma black sponge rear tyres

Sealed Parma 16d motor (not super 16d)

Saloon style body shell with interior

SPORTS/GT CLASS

Intended to allow competitors freedom to use a slightly more sophisticated car. Full track power is used for this class. The cars should be configured with-

A production 1/24 Chassis (Parma Flex 2 or Flex 3 , Champion Turbo-Flex, or Slot Works)

1/2 inch front wheels

Free choice of running gear

1/32 Production Class

JK/CMG/Demon / Parma International 32 / or "eurotoy" chassis - Falcon motors preferred. Sports/GT bodies - rules to BSCRA 1/32 Production/ super production

Full track power is used for this class.

1/32 Saloon Class

Demon / Parma International 32 / or "eurotoy" chassis - Falcon motors. BTCC style bodies - other rules to BSCRA 1/32 Production ( JK and CMG chassis not allowed in this class.) Track power is reduced for this class.

Formula 1 class

1/32 F1s with JK Falcon motors and a chassis built from a standard kit (at present everybody uses JK or Devil chassis - if you want to use something else please ask) Apart from the above, built to BSCRA F1 rules with a 68mm max width. Scale paint jobs are recommended (we all use them at present). Track power is reduced for this class.

GENERAL

Cars must not have features likely to damage to the track. Neither the gear nor the endbell bracket fixing screw (such as fitted on Flex 2 chassis) may protrude below the bottom of the chassis.

Lead weight ot othe ballast is not permitted.

Pin tubes or body fixing may be added to the standard body fixing holes in the chassis

Any minor variations on the guidelines will be at the discretion of Derek Purkis

RACING

Each driver will have a 3 minute race on each lane.

The Qualifying order will be calculated on a drivers best 2 runs (minus their handicap on handicap nights).

Everybody will have at least one 6 minute final. (Handicaps will apply to finals on handicap nights). The first 1or 2 (depending on the number present) move up from the slower final to the next final and so on to the top final.

Handicaps will be adjusted after each race night to produce racing as close as possible. Each class is run with alternate handicap and scratch nights - see the club calendar.
