Welcome fellow roundy-rounders!
We thought we would share with you a new class of racing we will be building here at HRW: JALOPY RACING!!
So what is a Jalopy? Well, nothing more than an old, beat up car that has seen better days but still has life a race car! These cars can be found easily on the web for you to use as a guide.
We are going to use a variety of different kits. Mostly 1920's through 1940's.
KITS ARE EXAMPLES ONLY.
We do not race with rules. We simply decide on some criteria that helps make all the models very close in performance.
Here are the 3 guidelines we are following for our series here:
We are using the H&R Chassis as our base. We are of course heavily modifying it.
All of our models will use the H&R HAWK 18,000 RPM Motor.
Unlike the modified series, all of our models will use H&R standard front wheels all the way around.
NOTE: This is just how we are going to
approach them.
YOU can build them anyway you see fit! NO RULES...JUST FUN!
