Here are some basic rules to consider for baja oval racing, check them out and see what you think.
These were started on the hpi baja forum.
1. 2wd HPI Baja 5B or 5T platform

2. Body types:

5B - Buggy body
5T - Truck body
Sprint - Wing (maximum wing dimensions to be set soon)
Modified - EDM and Late model body


3. Stock and Open classes

a. Stock - Any currently available stock CY or Zenoah motor of 23 or 26cc. No porting allowed. Stock can exhaust. Stock class will be "claimer" rules. If a motor is protested, a fee of street price for the motor is paid up front IN CASH. If the motor is found to be illegal, the protester gets the motor and thier money back and the cheater is disqualified. If the motor is found to be legal, the wrongly accused keeps the money and the motor. However, at any time during the races a motor can be claimed. The person claimed against does not have to open their motor until after the event is over. Once the last race has been run for the particular event the motor will be inspected.

b. Open class. Any motor from 23cc to 30.5cc, any exhaust pipe and fuel.

4. Functioning fail safes are required. Kill switches are not.

5. Functional brakes are required for corner marshall safety.

6. Exhaust and tire rules are at the discretion of the track owners.

7. Rolling start and caution flag will be at the discretion of the track owners but recommended.

8. No sharp or steel front bumpers.

9. Stock Baja fuel tank

10. Scale sized tracks preffered.
-5/8 mile track = 660'
-1/2 mile track = 528'
-3/8 mile track = 396
-1/4 mile track = 264'

11. Minimum weight 18 lbs

12. Maximum overall dimensions:
width = 20"
length = 40"
height = 16"
length of rear body panel from the center of rear wheels = 14"

Late model specs to be added once they are readily available.

Leave the small scale mentality out of this and also leave the drama behind as well. This is for OVAL BAJA racing. As LSRC stated: Simple rules are the best rules. Give people options. Let them choose what they want to run and learn for themselves.
