Competition Notes
We are currently running open class, Category 1 cars which are essentially unlimited with regards to motors, magnets and tires.
Our final three 2005 events were contested primarily by red-motored (35K) Fly and Slot.it chassis and TSRF powered TSRFs.
TrakMate voltage is set to 13vDC and the heats were extended from 2 minutes at the first meeting to 3 at the next two.
So far only Marc has fried a motor.
Category 1 cars should vary in lap times from Daniel Snipes' record 2.7 to the 3.1 turned by Alex in the last race. As
we are still in the process of finalizing rules some experimentation will continue for a few more events.
Category 2 will be for Slot.it, Fly cars with one magnet and 29K motors, Fly Evo 3 magnet cars, the Revell 550 and anything
else running in the 3.9 to 4.2 second range.
Category 3 will be for modified Scalextric and Ninco cars using stock motors and one large and one small magnet and should
run 4.3 to 5.0 seconds a lap.
A separate F.1 class will begin with some kind of equalization formula to compensate for the speed differential between
the Scalextric, Ninco and Carrera cars. All classes will allow for silicone tires. Any comments and suggestions are welcome.
OTHG and ITG events will be run to their rules.
