Definitely do not use the Stearns Method to run the event. It can have 25% chance of not choosing the fastest car on the track. But it makes parents happy because it runs in a time certain. Our district pulled this bone head move this year. The Lady announcing the finishers was so...

These is a lot of room to interpret . you could actually use the wheel as a hood ornament and as far as friction is concerned you approach eliminator class. Hmmmmmm

What is the rule concerning the the raised wheel when it is "on the hood" ,so to speak, of the street stock car. Does it have to turn and what angle can it be set at?

Once again using DD4H processes collected all the gold. Bears, Troop, Sibling and tonight I'm sure the geezer trophy will come home. Hope to send a Novice Street stock to the next race.

How could the wheel bore be reduced? I always assumed the larger axles were used to accomplish the same effect.

quicktime, did you or your son put on the stickers? That is enough to declare scout built isn't it.

krylon primer with sanding in between coats can be made to shine before color coats. Wet/dry 3200 grit will polish it nicely.

I think the body style issue would sort itself out after some races were run just as in the real world. The plus for us scale lovers is that we get to build our favorite car and see if we can engineer it to compete under the other existing rules win or lose.

Ditto on the pictures of the winners.

dropping your own car is heartbreaking but when the staggers at our district race this morning damaged my grandson's car after the first heat , which we won with a good time, it is really hard for 8 year olds to cope. I was really disappointed with the aluminum track because I don't think...

If unbeveled axles were available I would give them a try. Research is very interesting.

sorry for a newbie question but what exactly are guide pins and what are they used for?

Hi All, Newby II here. Why not graphite the rear wheels? I don't rail ride.
