I know we have a lot of classes already, but I was giving some thought to the idea of a different type of slot racing competition in the form of rally stage racing (otherwise known as rallying ). Here's the concept:
The cars
Rally cars only. These may be rear, front or all wheel drive.
Cars must have driver and navigator figures (heads minimum).
Motors up to 21,500 RPM (any brand).
Any wheels, tyres, axles and gears allowed.
No magnets. That's right, absolutely none.
The events
Any number of drivers may compete.
The rally stage will take place over five laps, one car at a time.
Each driver will run the stage three times for the event. Winner will be the driver who completes the three stages in the fastest time.
All drivers must complete each stage before moving on to the next round.
Drivers shall share marshalling duty when not driving.
Before jumping to conclusions on non-magnet racing, read this:
I think the rally car idea is brilliant, even more so because of the 'mag-less' stipulation. Certain 4WD designs might pose a challenge to chip though.
Rally class soundn. Good, I hava Subaru set up already, was set up for Mod Prod, jus hadda. Change motor, & take out magnet, yes. Bwayz ,, all wheel drive.. No magnets, I guess. We kud try it.
