CAR SPECIFICATIONS:
.
Body: The nose of the car can not be grooved or slotted in any manner which causes it to have the front of the car past the starting peg and that will place the front of the car closer to the finish gate. Any additions to the original body (drivers, decals, paint, weights, etc.) must be firmly attached.
.
Dimensions: Other portions of the car body width may be narrower if desired. Overall width (measured to the outside of the wheels) may not exceed 2 3/4”. Overall length may not exceed 7”. This includes any weights, decorative tailpipes, etc. Overall height may not exceed 5″. Minimum bottom clearance below the body must be at least 3/8” to prevent dragging on the guide strip.

Weight: The weight of the race-ready car must not exceed five (5) ounces (141.7grams). Weight will be measured using the official scales when the car is registered at the Finals. After the official weigh-in, no adjustments may be made to the car. Mercury or other liquid may not be used as a weight.
.
Lubricant: In order to protect the Derby track, graphite is the only approved lubricant. No oil or silicone may be used. Lubricant may be applied only prior to the race. Once races begin, no additional lubricant may be applied.

Wheels:  The car must free wheel with no stored energy or moveable weights.

Sportsmanship: Participants making a complaint shall post a $50 non-refundable fee pending the disposition of the case by duel. The accused party shall be given the choice of weapons to be used for the dispute resolution.

There are no other rules for the DSM Races!
