The rough out workshop is not a required event, but it is an opportunity for you and your Tigers to have access to expert supervised wood working equipment.
You need to already have a rough idea of how you want your cars cut.
Each car is inspected at weigh-in for the following inspection points:
Car Dimensions:
- Overall length of the car shall not exceed 7 inches
- Overall width of the car shall not exceed 2 3/4 inches
- The car must have a 1 3/4 inch clearance between the wheels
- The car must have 3/8 inch clearance underneath the body so it does not rub the track
Car Weight:
- Weight shall not exceed 5.0 ounces
- An official race scale will be used at the races.
Wood, Wheels, and Axles
- The official pinewood block handed out at the Pack meeting must be used. The block can be shaped any way that is desired.
- Official BSA wheels must be used. The wheels may not be cut, drilled, beveled or rounded. You may remove the seams and imperfections from the wheels
- The axles may be altered, polished and lubricated, but should be the axles from the kit.
Car Modifications NOT ALLOWED

- The car must not ride on any type of spring
- No starting devices...the car must be freewheeling
Skins and decals are acceptable...any car that does not meet the requirements listed above will need to race in the Open Division.
