Entry list final 03 by alexisgaitanis, on Flickr

Cars #3 and #65 have rear tires >7mm wide ,i already have permission to fix #3 ,awaiting permission to fix #65.

But both cars have additional issues with their guides,quote rules

6) Guide must be entirely under body, and not visible when view"ed from above.
-5% of distance covered in the first race if the issue can be fixed before the series start or
-5% of distance covered in each race if the issue cannot be fixed
Recommendation---
As a general rule the guide should go through Ninco and Scalextric R1 turns.
Problem guides:
-Slot.it wood SICH07 even if depth trimmed,too long, does not go through Ninco R1 corners.
-Scaleauto SC-1601-1602-1603
And any other of similar dimensions.
Guidelines
Max depth measured under braids: 5,8 mm
Max length : 22 mm
Max thickness of the blade : 1,9 mm
There will be no penalty and no guide changes ,but if a car cannot go through the corner it will be considered as DNS and will be awarded 0 points for that race."

#3 guide is 24mm long and #65 24.4 mm long and 8mm deep

Car #60 had a problem,as i removed the car from the box the chassis didnt follow and remained in the box.The epoxy used to glue the uprights to the body remained on the body luckily enough so i had the positions to put the body back in place and put a bit of superglue to hold it,then removed the chassis and reinforced the joints with more superglue and backing powder,its solid as rock now(i hope)

Here is the data i collected so far from the cars that are present.As you see there are lots of  empty cells,i have a policy of not opening the cars except for checks or repairs,but i will do it at the end of the series.If you can contribute by filling some voids i would be grateful.There are 2 columns missing,front and rear tyres.It is because one of the cars entered is fitted with what will be next years control tyre.It will be revealed after munter's round when it will have competed on a great variety of tracks, Ninco,wood various coatings,Scalextric
