Since our Valve Cover Racing Event is a popular one, I thought the rules might be good to include again. Thanks #3 for doing the research on this. :thumbs:
RULES
These are now the "official" rules. It's possible that they might change slightly, or even be added to, but if we do I'll be sure to notify people by creating a new post in the thread. My personal opinion on the rules is this: they're there so that it's a basis of what to go by, but not so much that it can't still be fun. I personally encourage and would like to see whatever people can bring to the table. The crazier the better.
The Cars:
-No engines or propulsion.
-No moving weights.
-Wheels can be attached to the car in any manner, but must not extend beyond the front of the valve cover.
-Nothing can extend beyond the front of the valve cover. (Due to the starting mechanism, and to make sure they start at the same place.)
-Cars shall be based on an actual rocker cover from an automobile engine.
-Cars must have four wheels, each no more than six inches in diameter. (Thinking about deleting this one. Thoughts?)
Critical Dimensions:
-30 inch maximum overall car length. (This figure is up in the air, depending on feedback I receive from you guys. However, 20" is pretty dang big already!)
-10 inch maximum overall car width, including axles/wheels. (Due to the width of each lane.)
-No height restrictions (within reason, of course). This is a personal "non-rule" because I'm secretly hoping somebody builds one to look like a pirate ship. Hint hint.
-10 pounds maximum weight by official scales.
