Are you using out of the box parts on your grandsons car? Also I wondered if maybe you were confusing the nationals with the Mid American derby as it is widely considered the nationals of scout racing. The reason I ask is you mentioned an open scout division. To my knowledge there is no such division at the nationals. There isn't an amature division either, you will be racing against mostly pro league racers, not scout cars. The BASX division would be closest to most scout car rules at nationals. There is an open scout division at the Mid America's. It is very competitive also as there will be many league racers scouts entered in that. I don't know but some may even be faster than say the BASX class at nationals because you can use lighter wheels and aerodynamics like fenders and wheel covers where you can't in the basx class. Like I said I don't know all this for sure I'm just speaking on some of the research I've done on the two not by experience as this will be my first time too.
