The 2011 rules are on review right now.

The bodiless rules are good to go, but we are working on panel sizes.


Sorry about that, guess I forgot to put the link in.

cool thanks,but keeps saying open or save and wont show me anything.when i click open,it just keeps going to same page.and hit save,saves to desktop and then wont show anything either.

chassis is
17" long,5" wide at widest point,4" tall,and will have roof,hood,side panels.and also 12-12-1/2" wheelbase.will be adding the rest of braces and hopefully links tommorrow.and hope to mount axles also.they are calling for alot of snow for us.we hardly ever get snow,but compairing it to snow of 1989.we got 22" that year.we did get 2-2-1/2" cpl weeks ago.it is nice and pretty to see it(when)we do,but also nice to see it go away.damn global warming i guess.lol
