Fascinating: MA Scout Oil vs The Pros

[CivilWarTalk]

So what makes the MA track faster? Is the timer gate 1/4 inch closer to the start?

Lots of variables there. Some of them include: Tiny variation in hill angle and levelness of the flat. Two different start gates are employed. Two different types of start switches are used. Even a slightly different adjustment if they used identical switches would result in a variance between tracks.

My rule of thumb is, if it's fast on the league track, it's fast ANYWHERE!

Hello, have some rule questions about the Scout PWD championship, rules are somewhat cloudy. Can the scout build a ladder design and use birch for the top and bottom? Looking at pictures from previous PWD NYC races its hard to tell.

If you have questions about the rules of any particular event, you're probably best served to contact the group running the event?

When you contact them for clarification, make sure to print out the email chain and bring it with you to the event in case the inspector gives you any trouble.

Good luck!
