Thanks Jim. So in addition to "The running gear; wheels, axles, gears, guide shoe, motors, bodies and chassis are all to be Vintage parts. There may be some parts that are reproduced that may be allowed, such as EJs chassis or wheels" the guidelines that apply are:Section II: Car appearance / dimensions
Since our racing emulates the 1:1 racing of history, cars will need to meet certain standards of appearance:
a) All cars will be close to
b) All cars will have a driver figure.
c) All cars will have appropriate windscreen / windshields.
d) Wheels and tires of appropriate number (4), size and decoration similar to the prototype, and located within the fenders on those cars so equipped. "Plain" looking slot car wheels are not allowed.
e) Wings, aero devices, etc., can only be added if the 1:1 car sported such devices. They must be reasonable models of such for authenticity.
f) Markings - a minimum of two (2) racing numbers must be displayed. The car may or may not represent exact colors and markings of a particular race's prototypes. (Example: a blue Ferrari is totally acceptable.)
g) Minimum ground clearance will be 1/16 inch.
4) "VINTAGE" class will feature slot cars which were manufactured pre-1969. All true vintage manufactured equipment, including motors, must be used. The one exception is the tires. Modern tires may be used, but must be installed on vintage rims. Modifications may be made which are true to period practices, examples: a different gear for ratio changes, use of ball bearings and the addition of weight for better handling.
The class is 1/24 Hardbodies. Does that include or exclude scale accurate lexan bodies? Lots of detailed vintage bodies by major manufacturers were lexan or similar polycarbonate.
Thanks.
It would not include lexan bodies, hard bodies means plastic bodies as far as I know.
