Race that in Box Stock class (or BASX, depending on your build parts) in the NPWDRL and enter it as a "showstopper." Has a really good chance of winning....seriously. Nice looking car.

What are the requirements for Box Stock..?

What are the requirements for Box Stock..?

Essentially untouched wheels (you are allowed to prep bores, that's it) and BSA axles (the ones with the burrs and flashing...you are allowed to clean and polish and groove them, but you have to start with the crappy BSA ones).

Thank you... we probably had 25 racers.... We normally have about 35-40... but being Easter weekend and the begining od spring break , we were light several members. ... I am juts hoping to get to a level like where these guys are running.

Essentially this. You need to use what's in the box. No wheel modifications except wheel bore prep/polish and you have to use actual BSA axles.

No stainless steel axles or modified / lightened wheels...

Box Stock Rules

BASX Rules

With districcts two weeks away here is the challenge. The body has been hollowed out, BUT I am thinking I should possibly drill the wind shield out use reflective tape to cover the holes ... then add the additional weight to the back of the car.... I can only imagine it would give me the ability to add shift a few grams to the back. Thoughts?

leave it and race it

Build a thin car.

Build a thin car.

We technically have to race the same car... we can tweak wheels, steer , move weight around. But supposed to race the same ones.
