Rules: AMATEUR HARD-BODY MODIFIED CLASS - For New Racers

A CLASS for New Racers  (Newbies and Oldies)

Hard-Body Modified is a new HO racing class in SCHOR for 2010. The purpose of this new class is to allow racers who are new or returning to HO slot racing to be involved in organized SCHOR racing without having to spend a lot of money, or having to compete with more experienced HO slot racers. The intention is to create an easy and fun low-tech racing class, that permits a wide variety of new and existing hard-body HO cars to be raced together, with an emphasis on creating parity through rule (magnets and tires) adjustments.

This event will be the first race of the days program, and the races are 2-minute heats w/1.5 minutes for pit time.

ANYTIME THAT THERE ARE MORE THAN TWO AMATEURS AVAILABLE TO RACE, THE AMATUER HARDBODY RACE will be held SEPARATE from the PRO HARDBODY RACE
