Some organizations who have been at it a long time have complicated rules. If we just decide to have "Stock Car" races, the rules are more simple.
I would say that car kits that come with nail type axles, should be avoided & they require too much prep. Kits that come with rod type axles come cheaper & that type of axle only requires polishing
We can get car kits for under $4.00. There is a guy in Peoria Az who sells kits for $3.45, or $3.25 each for a dozen.
I was thinking that the Comrades in California,Nevada & Arizona could come together, & form a SouthWestern Regional Division.
Here is a link that delves into basic Pine-wood Car Racing Rules: http://wirlracing.com/ The rookie rules would be a good point of departure for us...In these dark days we need to uphold the twin values of our people CRAFTSMANSHIP & SPORTSMANSHIP!!!!!!!
I'd like to See Brother Fritz & Sister V. Clark get involved,due to their technical backgrounds...

St Louis Conference/Racing Rules #1 Today, 05:22 AM VFsupporter Member member Join Date: Feb 2005 Location: California Posts: 40 St Louis Conference/Racing Rules --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Greetings Comrades! Last week I spoke with the Organizer of the St Louis Victory Conference. I'm going to mail him two car kits & a booklet that delves into crafting really fast pine-wood racers. Although this is supposed to be mostly for the kids, I can see this turning into a mania for all of those involved.
Here are a few Commercial websites: http://www.pinewoodextreme.com/ http://www.hobbylinc.com/htm/pin/pinp369.htmThere are some sample rules on the www. We just have to find a SIMPLE set that works for us.
The ladies, or course can make up their own Powder Puff rules.This sport is great for creating pride in one's work. The races are a blast as well....
Any & all suggestions are most welcome! VFsupporter _________________________________________________________________Your Hotmail address already works to sign into Windows Live Messenger!
