Rules

I do note the new format for the forum, as I am somewhat old
fashioned I find the changes a little hard to work my way
around, but a few comments. Delete if you wish moderator.
I do like the comments re "What is/what isn't"
I don't understand why there is a maximum wheelbase, some cars ,
to look "right" need the longer than given. I have just had to
give up on a build as it would not conform , Edwardian types
need longer.
Why the 35 mph rule? I don't understand why, and more so when
film is posted of a CKGB car showing 43?

Hi Rhys , please tell us more about the build you had to give up
on. I'm sure some of the other guys would be interested.

I guess I didn't " have to" but the Napier was over length for
the "new rules". I was building to the rest of the world
guidelines, and it would have been 6" long, so it just seemed a
waste of effort to not have other Edwardian cars. I was working
to ' overall length, as that's what most other places use, means
you can actually put them sideways on a trailer legally. Never
mind, I just wanted to understand why.
As Stefan said to me a year or so back "You can't make others do
what you want, or think right" so it's just easier to move on to
other pastures.

I often wondered why the rules were never set up as 75% or 80%
of the full size car you have selected, a longer wheelbase
would equal a heaver kart so there would be no advantage in
picking a bigger car.

Personally I see no need at all for a wheelbase rule. In regards
your thoughts on a scale, having been around these things going
on for 20 years, I continually (boringly) feel the need to
remind people that they are not scale models. Giving the clues
that identify is what matters.
