Are 3D printed bodies ok to use?

Well, I can start the party with a '63 Vette in 1/32 Hot Rod class as I have all the bits to make it.
Question 1, is the track a routed wood one or plastic?
Question 2, what is the braid depth or rail height?

My entry will be a 66 Mustang conventional Gasser.

Just built a chassis. No idea what works as this kind of racing is totally new to me. Quickest to the end I guess. Seems simple enough, but I bet it isn't

Dan, it's not a whole lot different setting up a drag car than a road racing car unless you're adding a drop arm. Even then, the basic tricks apply. Biggest thing is make sure the guide is straight, not crooked so it rubs the side of the slot.
For the 1st race at Todd's, 1/32 cars should plan on using a low gear ratio somewhere around (2.50-2.80 to 1) if using tires around .9" tall. This is based on the top cars from a couple years back.

Thank you for the update on the car - I will update the spreadsheet!
As Dickie has mentioned, for the 55' strip here at Mark's - taller geared cars (2.xx) typically overtook the shorter geared (3.xx) cars in the second half of the track - so 2.xx gearing is your friend here! :)

Well I guess I will enter in the wheels up category. During testing I have the wheels lifting the 1/2 inch required on my 66 Mustang Gasser.

With only 12 feet of strait, I don't really know how fast this is. It lifts the wheels, that is all I know for sure.
