I need to build somebody a car for Can-Am races in Texas.

Could somebody point me to the rules online?

Thanx.

I have no idea what rules are being used in Texas, hence my question.

If IRRA, that's cool. If something else, I need to know. . .

IRRA... F7/TSR motors only.

Here's a LINK to the rules currently posted on the Dallas Slot Car website:

We started out with D3 rules. Then modified D3 rules. Then modified IRRA rules. Now, when I look at the rules, I see no weight limit ala SoCal D3 and the sub-menu for selecting these rules says "D3". Note that the only motor allowed is the Falcon 7.

So a local is buying something with provenance... velly interesting.

Obvious racist discrimination.

Obvious racist discrimination.

Also a rule with no good reason unless they don't like the looks of the label.

How is our using only Falcon 7s any different than SoCal D3 Can-Am using only TSR D3 spec motors? Methinks the pot is calling the kettle black. Run along, boys, yer mama's callin'. :lol:

That's because we are professional fascists, you are only mere amateurs.

True; you've been at it longer.

If it weren't for you and I being long lost twins, Dokk, sometimes I'd think you were tryin' to get my goat. Nobody gets my goat 'cept me.... and maybe Butch.

We use Falcons as well out here, Tex. Some use both. I have both in my box but most are TSRs.

Jeez! It seems Texas has a lot of retro-related problems...... and virtually NO retro racing in Texas!?!

We're pretty special that way I guess.

Careful Tex :blink:

It you start spreading the word on those "modified" IRRA rules you mention in post #5 you end up landed in the "Other" category! LOL

Then you'll have all kinds a Retro problems in Texas.

Any chance we could get this motor argument moved to another thread??

No motor controversies in Texas Retro racing and I don't want to appear to the world that we have problems. It's hard enough to get customers in the door.

Please carry on with the discussions but lets do it on another thread where everyone will read it.

Thanks,
Shontel

At Shontel's request, I have split this thread.

The new thread is in General Retro and is titled "Slick 7 Mini-Brute".
