The rules for my local derby were changed this year with the "no washers" rule expanded to the phrase "no washers or other foreign material may be attached to the side of car with the intent of reducing friction with the wheels". In years past I always avoided the washer rule by using a little super glue that was polished, however, I'd hate to see my kids car get disqualified because of a little glue around the axle holes getting flagged. However, we do cover the top of our cars with monokote trim sheet. The stuff seems fairly slippery to the touch and I was wondering if it was used on the sides of the car, might it work to reduce friction by 'coincidence'? Figured I should ask for any experience before having to pull wheels and axles if it slowed the car down.
