An Owner's Identification Number will be assigned during registration.

3. TRACK: Scioto Valley District will be using a 42’ Aluminum BestTrack with Microwizard Timer. Each Child will get a minimum of 6 races, 2 in each lane. The XX* lowest cumulative times will Qualify for finals. At which point there will be a single elimination tournament to decide the top 4 Places. Those who lose in the semi final race will then race to decide third and fourth place.
4. CAR REPAIR: A "Maintenance Center" will provide tools and personnel to repair or modify cars.
A. Only cars over 5 oz. or under 4 oz. will be modified. Owners must request modification.
Only slight, damage will be repaired, based on the decision of the Center Chief, whose decision is final.
In no event will repair to a car be allowed to cause undue delay of any race.
5. IMPOUNDING: All cars will be impounded in Racers Alley immediately upon completion of inspection. No racer shall handle or touch any car following final weigh in and registration. If a car has passed inspection and a rule violation regarding the car is subsequently discovered the Center Chief will contact the owner and permit correction of the defect (if possible) prior to the race. If the defect cannot be corrected or the owner cannot be located then the car will be withdrawn and not permitted to race.
6. DECISIONS of the Track Officials, Judges and Maintenance Crew are final.
7. ONLY ONE ENTRY PER PERSON: One Boy-One car.
Divisions are as follows… Tiger, Wolf, Bear, Webelos, Best in Show and Outlaw (Scouts with non conforming cars, Leaders, Parents, Friends, Brothers and Sisters) In General the same weight and size regulations apply however there are no limits on wheels and axles.
Awards are as follows… Trophies 1-3 Tiger, Wolf, Bear, Webelos, Best in Show and Outlaw. Grand Champion Trophies 1-4 Overall District Champion (includes Tiger, Wolf, Bear, and Webelos) Outlaw does NOT Qualify
To be honest were are going to be very lenient this year allowing a lot more than most districts to make things a little more fun, creative and laid back. As long as the car isn’t wet with lubricant or is obviously trying to cheat the system the car will be able to race. All boys may enter as long as they pre-register so for this year (2005) there is no qualifying for Districts for 2005, anyone may race this year!
