The Rolly Polly Class may still have some changes, but these rules will give everyone an idea of what the rules may be. We have removed the skid pad timing from the rules. It was making it hard to have a car that could be used in the class. We are looking at a list of cars that may be suggested for this class to help with ideas. Remember all cars need to be "30 years old" to race in any class.
Here are a few cars that may work.
Revell - NSU
Scaley - E type
Spirit - BMW 2002/1600
Ninco - Porsche 356
Ninco - Austin Healey (not the wider cars like the 56 Corvette or Jag XK-120)
Revell GT-350
VW's - Bug or Van
SCX - Citroen
Vintage Revell -such as Austin Martin DB5
SCX - MGA
