Race format and scoring
This will be a single-elimination tournament. A car will move on in the bracket that produces the faster time and bigger beat after lane swap.
The car that wins the final race will be declared the winner. Race host has final decision in all races.Final race will be a 2 out of 3 takes the overall win.
Bracket seeding will be random and will be determined before race day.
Penalties/DNF
Cars are given a grace of 1g over the stated weight limit to account for variance in scales. I run them how you send them.
If a car fails to meet any of the restrictions listed above, the car will not qualify for victory. Offending cars will still race. Finish position and any prize will go to the runner-up in the case of the penalty car winning.
Cars that arrive damaged in shipping, I will contact you directly and see how you want to proceed. I am willing to attempt repair but it's your call.
Prizes
1st place will get a Johnny Lightning prize pack and trophy.

- Good question, I thought that too. I'll have to check mine to see if I have any with plastic tires — G_ForceRacing
I have a question. It states in rules stock, then it states 70G weight limit so I need clarification we can or can't add weights and if not would it be allowed to open the car up just to polish the axels.
Response will be much appreciated
- There’s some heavy Johnny’s out there, like the vans for example. Im sure the only modding we can do it lube. — CaShMoneyBoyS
