Racing specs?

LSO · Nov 1, 2011

SO im looking at possible buying a buggy. My only major concern is the chassis is made from 1.5 tubing. Will i be able to race it here in washington at some of the race events we have? ie; fair grounds, off road parks, private land or anything else. Does anyone have any knowledge of what my limitations would be with a 1.5 inch chassis?

Thanks

1.5 if 120 wall is ok for PNW4WD races if the rest fits the specs, you could run over to there place and look at comp rules in the racers edge section.
Binder runs most of the stuff out there, being the lil whore that he is, and passes tech everywhere that I have known about. However I think there might have been some bribing by him with BBQ chicken and watermellon, and rum...

Yea, what he said, they are all there but ya just need to read the FAQ tab under racers edge to get the new and the old....

These are just for the PNW races, every entity has there own set of rules, and you would need to go to every association to read there rules to be sure you could run in everything, or at least in the ones you would want to...

"Most" places will let you run if you have the basic safety stuff, but would make you update to their rules if you wanted to run a second time with them.

Yeah 1-1/2" .120 wall is good for PNW and most any local comps that I know of......Yes I am a whore and have been known to bribe when needed but the rum is only as a last resort.:haha:
