“OFFICIAL” RULES

 

• Cars will be built using an actual rocker cover from a VW engine; steel and 
or aluminum are allowed.

• No engines or propulsion of any kind save gravity.

• No moving weights/counter weights.

• Wheels can be attached to the car in any manner, but must not extend beyond 
the front or rear of the valve cover.

• Nothing can extend beyond the front or rear of the valve cover.

• Cars will have at least four wheels, each no more than six inches in diameter.

• Wheel must have a non-metallic surface contacting the track.

• 10 inch maximum overall car width.

• 10 inch maximum overall height.

• 8 pounds maximum weight by Official** scales.

• Valve covers will be clean (no sludge). If the racer drips oil or grease, it 
is disqualified!

• Each racer will have a name to be used to identify it during races.

Rules of the track and race are as follows:

·         The judge's decision is final!

·         The track will consist of two lanes with each lane 18 inches wide, 
(length to be determined at a later date and only to be limited by my 
imagination =).

·         If a racer (person) interferes with another car, it (they) 
automatically lose that round.

·         If a racer is hampered by a track issue, it will get another run.

·         If there is a tech issue, the judge's decision is final.

·         “official” rules are subject to change. 

** official scales have been tested using state of the art weights and measures 
designed and operated by qualified NASA space engineers.
