Best Track binder clip upgrade???

I'm looking for ideas on ways to upgrade my Best Track. I'd like to replace the binder clips to make setup easier. We run about 15 derbies a year and I'd like to make it easier to setup/tear-down. Has anyone replaced the binder clips that hold the sections together? I've seen other track designs tha...

Re: Driver's Written Exam and License

As is usually the case, the website looks to have changed a lot over the last couple of years. Does anyone still have a copy of the docs from it?

Thanks,

David

Re: PWD Decorating

The other thread doesn't say who you emailed at Valvoline. Any details you could share would be great.

Re: How tall can a car be?

I agree that 2.75 is pretty low. We just want to be fair to everyone and not have issues like last year. We had a nicely built car that had a stuffed pirana screwed to the top. I don't know how tall it was, but it kept hitting the timer. As it was pretty fast compared to others it had been lined up ...

How tall can a car be?

We are adjusting our rules for our derby this year and want to include a height limit due to some issues we had last year. We need to get the rules updated and out, but the track is buried in a storage unit. I need to know if anyone can tell me the distance from running surface of a Best Track to th...

District Race

I am new to the forum, so here goes. :D I keep reading posts from everyone about how the District race went. I have done some basic checking here in Carrollton, TX and can't find anyone that knows anything about a district race. Is this just something that evolved over time in different places? I am...
