The rules are the same for these 5 classes that can compete at a PACER race or a True Scale race.

Picture one is of the 962. The 962's run once at each of 5 tracks.

Picture two is of the Can-Am that share the same rules between the two groups.

Picture three is of the Classic NASCAR, rules also shared by both groups.

Picture four is of the Trans-Am class that shares the rules by both groups.

Picture five is of the new Le-Mans class that I believe will be run at Bill's Checkered Flag Raceway along with Rapid Raceway.

I don't know at this time what the PASER schedule is as far as what classes will be run during the 2024 season.

Rapid Raceway has one 962 race scheduled. Two Can-Am races scheduled. Two Trans-Am races scheduled.
Two LeMans races scheduled.

I did not have room for the Classic NASCAR, however I MAY have a special race for it.

Thanks to all who participated in this special event. Beau's two cousins ( Barry Smith and wife Brenda and Phil Perdue, alias: Bar Dog ) came up from California and Beau's sister ( Harmony and husband Michael Breen ) came over from Long Beach, Washington. Harmony and Michael provided the pizza, thus no entry fees for this event. It was truly a fun event! Phil Perdue provided the special 1st. place trophy that Zack is holding on the podium. Pictures coming as soon as Bill finds the time.

Back to the Classic NASCAR project. I am using a Hanna chassis #104 that has been in a LOT of races. I am installing Indy car Pro Slot rear tires for the front as they are a 1/8th. axle as the rules say 1/8th. axles only. I will trim down the tires to about .900" on the tire truer, rules say .850 minimum diameter. I will cut them to .500" width that the rules call for. I will have to cut the front axle housing  by .140" on each end to get down the the maximum tracking, which is 3.250". Also the pans will have to be trimmed to make room for the tires after the axle cut.

Picture coming as soon as Bill has time.

Doc; I have to send Bill the pictures and he installs them on the site. I thought I sent them to him this morning, but I just realized ( at about 4pm ) that I forgot to send them! First mistake I ever made in my life!
