GRAND PRIX FOR SPARKS AND T&T
RULES: These are the basic rules for Grand Prix. The car is not to be longer than 7 inches, not wider than 2 and 3/4 inches including with the wheels, and not more than 3 inches tall, as well as not more than 5oz in weight which will be weighed digitally on the day of the race and the scale we use is what matters. The wheels must have the word Awana facing out and no wheels can be inset on the vehicle. The front of the car must not come to a point. There is not to be a notch in the front of the car. The chassis of the car should not be lower than 3/8 of an inch or it will rub against the track. Your car number should appear somewhere on the top or side of your vehicle, it can be with stickers or painted.
No cars from other series, organizations, or previous years are allowed to be raced. All vehicles being considered for trophy prizes must be able to complete at least one successful race. If there is a practice session, no car is allowed to compete against another car during practice. If a vehicle jumps the track during a race, the race will be restarted. If the same car jumps the track three times, then it will be disqualified and not allowed to continue. Also the child who is assigned the car is to do as much of the work as possible including design, craftsmanship, and handiwork. On race day, once the car is registered and passes inspection, no alterations from the pit area are allowed to be made.
There are two trophy category areas for Sparks and T&T...design and speed. There will be trophies for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place in each category.
Clubbers in Sparks and T&T, these clubbers must do most of the work themselves except where power tools come into play when working on their car kits. These clubbers will also be granted an exception if a special need is required. Everything else is up to the clubber to complete.
The kids get the choice of the following and all cars come with wheels and axles:
