<VV> Valve Cover Race Rules (was Re: Inquiry for valve cover race rules)

[Harry Jensen, CORSA Executive Secretary]

Hi--

Sorry. I just put the rules on the CORSA site.

There are no official rules; they can be modified by each event host. The 
ones I put on the website are base upon rules we've used in the past.

1. Gravity powered only, no motors, springs, jet-propelled, etc.

2. 4.5 pounds maximum weight, no minimum.

3. Must have Corvair valve cover used in construction.

4. Maximum length 16" long, 8" width including tires.

5. No part of racer to hang over start gate which is 3" in height.

6. No lane hopping or interference with competition. First infraction rerun,
second infraction disqualification. Which means one rerun for entire event.

To be safe, make your racer with the wheels being the widest part of the
racer.

7. If judges rule a tie, then reruns until a winner is decided. Reruns will
be in opposite lane.

8. Must finish on wheels and in own lane.

9. Races will be run in eight-car heats. First eight signed are first heat,
second eight cars signed second heat, and so on. Then main event will be the
heat winners. If less then 32 cars entered then six-car heats.

1. Track launch ramp is 24 feet long, starting four feet high. Total length
is 40 feet.

2. It has sides and center divider. Outside rails are one inch high and the
center divider is 3/4" in height.
