For some time I have been considering an open wheel F1 or Indy Car type of class to race here at TooBad Motorplex. After racing at the Hawksbill Station re-opening in Dennis Hart's Texas Whip Out race, I felt Dennis had come up with a concept that fit my vision of open wheel racing perfectly! To me the open wheel cars are the epitome of motorsports racing. The represent some of the fastest, cutting edge, no compromise racing cars built. Dennis' Texas Whip Out concept is where a slot car of that type fits the description. The rules will be simple, the cars must be based on a 1/32 scale injection molded body of a F1 or Indy Car. You can use either a production type slot car chassis of any make, or scratchbuild your own. Cars must retain the proper wheel base and track width for the car, and must have four wheels/tires that touch and roll. Cars will be teched to make sure they do not drag or touch down hard parts to the track surface (.030 min. clearance is suggested). Any motor can be used, as well as any tire wheel combination, and any gears. This is pretty much an open class, so have at it.
I plan to run this class after the Classic Sports Cars and GT Class if there is any interest. If there's no interest it won't be run that evening. This class is basically for anyone who wants to stick around for some extra racing. These things should be fast and not for the faint of heart! Build them with no compromise, and no excuses!
I plan to have one ready to race for the June 13th race. ---------------------------Bill
