Amendment 1

Hi All,
Thanks for the interest and all the great questions I've received.
Here are some rule clarifications that should help out.

Wheels: Plastic 4 dot Indy rims, Vibrator Indy rims, Tyco S large
Indy Rims and replacements Such as Ho reproductions,4 dot wheel,
Vibrator Spinner, and Hot Rod Moon wheels will also be allowed. As
well as any other reproduction wheel as long as It is the same size
as the Original Indy Rims.

Overall Width: Car Must Pass Freely through a 1 5/16 Inch Tech block.
Brass or Plastic Spacers may be used to space out the front end, No
lead spacers or spring loaded front ends allowed.

Tire Size: Rear Minimum is .490. Front Minimum is .430. Im putting no
maximum in place, But from someone who races this track every day The
Taller the tires are the worse the Car will handle.

Wheelbase: Front or rear axle holes may be used, Middle "hot rod
hole" allowed.

Motor Brushes: Any Copper Carbon Brush will be allowed, ex. Stock
tjet, Thunder brushes or wizzard brushes. No silver brushes

Thanks to Roger Corrie for some Great Suggestions, and keep the
