3. WHEELS AND AXLES - Axles are to be used as furnished. Wheels may be very lightly sanded to remove casting 

tracks on wheels. The riding surface of the wheels is not to be painted or polished and the wheel is not to be filled with 

additional weight. 

4. CLEARANCE - Kub Kar chassis must not be lowered below 3/8 inch (.95cm). Failure to ensure this may result in the 

bottom of the Kub Kar dragging on the race strip.

horizontal surface, no less than 1 inch (2.5.4 cm) in length and no greater than 5/8 inch (1.6 cm) off the track. 

NOTE: Kub Kars that do not conform to the above can cause difficulties during starts and therefore may not be allowed

11. SPRINGING - Kub Kars shall not ride on any type of springs.
