Rocker Cover racing is back again this year!
Get building now for racing on the 18th of October
Design your own rocker cover.
The Rules are:
1. This is a fun event
2. Car shall be based on an actual rocker cover (valve cover) from a car engine. There shall be no limitation on engine make, model, cylinder configuration, or displacement.
3. Car must retain at least 75% of the original rocker cover.
4. Car must not have any form of mechanical propulsion or steering. Gravity is your friend.
5. Car must weigh no more than 5.5 kg.
6. Car overall length shall be no more than 60cm. (Note: The staging lane is only 60cm long.)
7. Car must have 4 wheels, each no greater than 20 cm in diameter.
8. The course shall consist of two divided lanes, each approximately 32cm wide. Track length is approximately 5 m slope and 4m run off
9. Cars will be run in heats of 2 cars each. The first car to have its front wheels cross the finish line shall be declared the winner. If neither car makes it to the finish line, the car going farthest shall be declared the winner.
10. Winning cars will advance to the next round until all are eliminated - except one champion!
11. While the judges' decision is final, all bribes will be gratefully accepted. Any constructor who enters a protest will be automatically disqualified.
12. Downforce wings, spoilers, air dams, etc. are all permitted. They probably won't do any good, but we will all get a good chuckle out of them.
13. Sponsorship logos, racing stickers and car names are all encouraged.
14. There are no more rules. So get cracking, but above all, let's have fun!
