OKLAHOMARACER RULES AND SPECIFICATIONS
These are the official Oklahoma rules which must be followed. Disregard rules received from any other source.
ONLY CARS MADE FROM RA RACER KITS WILL BE ALLOWED TO RACE AT MISSION IGNITION
RA Racer Inspection Chairman will have the right to determine if a car meets these specifications. The RA Racer Event Coordinator depends on the RA Director and/or Counselor to see that these specifications are met so a boy or girl will not suffer the disappointment of his or her car being disqualified at Mission Ignition.
CONSTRUCTION OF RACER
Sand, seal, lacquer and wax your car as desired for finished look. Details such as steering wheel, driver, decals, painting and interior detail are permissible as long as these details do not make the car violate the specifications.
The RA Racer Track is made so that cars are kept in a lane by a lane strip. It is necessary that axles be used as furnished and that car chassis not be lowered below 3/8 inches. Failure to follow these instructions may cause the car to drag on lane strip.
The car shall NOT ride on any type springs. The car must be free-wheeling with no starting devices.
No loose materials of any kind are permitted in or on the car. The car may be hollowed out and built up to maximum weight by the addition of wood or metal only, provided it is securely built into the body or chassis or secured with screws (not taped on). Lead weights may be used.
MEASUREMENT
Overall width shall not exceed 2 3/4 inches.
Overall length shall not exceed 7 3/8 inches.
Overall height shall not exceed 3 inches.
WEIGHT
Weight shall not exceed 5 ounces.
WHEELS
Wheels cannot be larger than 1¼ inches in diameter nor can they be thicker than ¼ inches (narrow wheels). Wheel bearings, washers and bushings are prohibited.
The distance between the axle grooves (wheel base) cannot exceed 4 1/4 inches and the grooves cannot be re-located toward either end of the block. The plastic wheels may NOTbe modified with the exception of smoothing out the rough spots and must meet specifications. THIS MEANS NO SHAVING. Wheels cannot extend past front of car body.
There will be a designated pit area for making all lubrications and repairs. Any "servicing" of cars will be allowed in this area only and prior to the racing event. Participant or car will not leave pit area with any evidence of lubricant showing.
Cars are to be raced only on tracks provided and not on floors or elsewhere.
