Xmod Point Series Official Rules

1. All participants must make the track EXACTLY as drawn. Surfaces to be raced on are hardwood or linoleum, concrete, and carpet. If one does not have hardwood, they can use linoleum, and vise versa. Barriers can be anything, however, I reccomend pvc pipe. Rope, dowels, ect. can be used.
2. Participants are to use a stop watch of some sort (including cell phones, watches, and computers) to time 50 consecutive laps clockwise.

question on the batteries... so to be in the stock class... you have to use the green radioshack NiMH batteries that come with the xmods charger or what? or as long as your car has 4 AAA cells you can race in STOCK and RS MOD classes? im thinking i might use my mustang for STOCK or RS MOD classes... and im definitly in for OPEN class with the firebird... and 50 laps isnt too much? iono never done this before...

No restrictions on batts.

50 laps will go by very quickly. Try it out. If you think we should change it, I can. I've never done this either.



EDIT: If you would like to participate. Please post here letting me know.

ok... so i figured out the bare minimum of pvc piping needed to build these four tracks... assuming you cut all pipe pieces to 5 feet long... here it is:

01 - T Fittings
08 - L Fittings
04 - "Straight" Fittings (to connect two 5' pieces into one 10' pipe)
12 - 5 Feet Lengths of PVC pipe (60 Feet total)

...this is what i'm going to purchase from the local hardware store...

Ah man, sorry to hear. I got my run in. I got the piping on saturday. It was more pricey than expected.

just wondering... but that 60 is your points? if so shouldnt all the different classes be different... stock, RS mod, & open.... if thats the case it'd be 20/20/20... just wondering... and i'll beat you next round... no worriez...

zzultimate
01-16-2007, 03:57 PM
What do you mean? I got 20 point for winning stock, 20 for winning rs mod and 20 for winning open. That's 60 pts.




Oh, it's on like donky kong!!

I didnt think you were going to add the points together... doesnt seem right... it'd be like mixing the top fuel car's times with the stock car's times... different classes... different rankings and everything... i'll only be in the open races seeing as the mods i have on my car are not easily reversible... so if i take you on open... but you are racing RS MOD and STOCK... you still will beat me in points... iono... just doesnt make sense to mix the class points if you are going to have separate classes... should have separate rankings for each class... iono... either way im just gonna be racing for the fun of it... lolz...

I changed it.


Maybe you should be running this... :D
