next Wednesday 21/9/11 ---- scratched build or international 1/32---

If if  anyone is  keen to come over to race  their 1/32 cars,  you are all  welcome to bring them along for a  nights racing. The  orange tires seem  to  be a bit slippy on my track. The  treated  tires seem  to work  best, offering good grip.

Racing results for 31/8/2011

Rules for 1/32 racing

I have been looking at the rules and have come up with the following.  Please feel free to  comment (good or bad) if I have  got anything wrong or have left something out.

Super modified

Any chassis can be used. The chassis can be modified in any way as long as the following is a heard  to.

·         Added weight, there are no restrictions on the use of ballast except that it must not overhang the chassis outline.

•              Front wheels:  must turn on their centres at 90 Degrees to the tracks surface and have black rubber / plastic perimeter. Front axle may be braced to prevent its revolving.

Technical Specification   

·         Any type of body can  be  use. but  no  wing cars

·         A non-transparent three (3) dimensional driver, consisting of at least head / shoulders / arms and steering wheel must be used or the windows must  be blacked out.    

Slot car Dimensions:

·         maximum width excluding pins and tape 2.519” (64mm)

·         minimum clearance  (rear) 0.5mm

·         spur gear must be level or above chassis

·         Rear tires: maximum width 20.5mm [.810”]

      Motor:

• Any Type

 

modified production

A home built chassis or a Parma International 32 chassis can be used  . The chassis can be modified in any way as long as the  following is a heard  to.

·         Added weight, there are no restrictions on the use of ballast except that it must not overhang the chassis outline and must not inhibit the movement of any chassis component and it must be lead.

·         Addition of up to 4 body mounting pin tubes using glue or solder to production chassis.

·         Rear axle bearings  can be of the “oilite” or  ball bearing type 

·         The  motor bracket may be cut off

·         The chassis pan below the end-bell may be trimmed to eliminate electrical short-circuit if necessary. Tape may be used under the motor end-bell for insulation to prevent the motor shorting on the chassis.

·      The motor may be soldered to the chassis in any position, and may be braced to the chassis in a rearward or forward  direction.

·         Front wheels:  must turn on their centres at 90 Degrees to the tracks surface and have black rubber / plastic perimeter. Front axle may be braced to prevent its revolving.

Technical Specification   

·         Saloon  type  bodies only

·         A non-transparent three (3) dimensional driver, consisting of at least head / shoulders / arms and steering wheel must  be used    

Slot car Dimensions:

·         maximum width excluding pins and tape 2.519” (64mm)

·         minimum clearance  (rear) 0.5mm

·         spur gear must be level or above chassis

Standard Production

A Parma International 32 chassis must be used. The chassis must be unmodified apart from the following permitted modifications:

·         Added weight, there are no restrictions on the use of ballast except that it must not overhang the chassis outline and must not inhibit the movement of any chassis component and it must be lead.

·         Addition of up to 4 body mounting pin tubes using glue or solder to production chassis.

·         Rear axle bearings  must be of the “oilite” type (no ball  bearings).

·         The holes in the motor bracket may be enlarged for motor clearance, provided the outside profile of the bracket remains unchanged.

·         The chassis pan below the end-bell may be trimmed to eliminate electrical short-circuit if necessary. Tape may be used under the motor end-bell for insulation to prevent the motor shorting on the chassis.

·         The motor may be soldered to the chassis in the standard factory position, and may be braced to the chassis in a rearward direction only.

·         Front wheels:  must turn on their centres at 90 Degrees to the tracks surface and have black rubber / plastic perimeter. Front axle may be braced to prevent its revolving, but must remain free to move laterally, and must not inhibit or alter the movement of any chassis component

No other modifications will be permitted.

Race results 24/8/11
Sorry for not posting the results, but I clean forgot about  it.It was a frustrating night  with the  computer throwing  a wobbly fit and not counting the laps.  Darren  got the  thing going,  but  half the races were over  50 laps and the over half over 3 minutes. We got there in the end.  This week was for points. With  6 people turning up fastest qualifier got  6  points  and last getting 1 point. For racing 1st got 10 points, 2nd getting 8 points and 3rd 6  points.
