Car Classes

There are two different slotcar scales raced at BMR .  Both slotcar scales share a some common car classes.  In both scales all the bodies are hard plastic either from slotcar manufacturers like Scalextric , Ninco , SCX , Fly , Slot it ,  NSR (1/32 scale) or body kits like AMT Revell , Monogram , Tamiya etc with the exception being the FJ FX Holdens which are vacuum formed plastic.   These are all 1/24th or 1/25th scale bodies

1/25th & 1/24th Scale racing

1/25th scale is prefered over 1/24th as 1/25th body kits are generally easier to find and have more racing room on the track in its present layout.    see car class build rules page for more details
