“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.
