Rules for Whitby Area 18 Wheeler Racing

Pictures of the 2000 races are now available.

• The overall length cannot exceed 44.5 cm.
• The overall width cannot exceed 8.5 cm.
• The overall height cannot exceed 11.5 cm.
• You cannot alter the length of the axles in any way (otherwise the truck will not fit on the track) and you must use the axles that come with the kit.
• The overall weight cannot exceed 800 g (no exceptions).
• These rules must be followed to ensure the trucks will fit on the track and will go through the starting gate.

Unlike Kubkars it is acceptable to put things on the truck, (cars, logs, etc.) as long as it conforms to the above dimensions.

In addition, the truck must have all the wheels (18) that come with the kit installed and they all have to be on the track. The vehicle must have a cab and trailer and the cab and trailer should pivot freely.

Some hints:

Fasten the weights in the truck so they can't slide around. They tend to do damage when the trucks hit the end of the track.

If you are going to put weight under the truck make sure that it is installed flush with the bottom so that it will not hit the track.

Keep the weight low in the truck.

Make sure whatever you attach to the truck is securely fastened.

Make sure the wheels are all aligned (that they are all square to the track and pointing straight ahead).
