Our Go/No-go gauge will help you improve your race by providing a consistent and quick way to inspect each car. The heavy-duty construction (cabinet grade plywood and impact and scratch resistant acrylic) means that your organization can use this gauge for years to come.
Features
The Go/No-go gauge allows you to easily measure the following criteria:
- Car Dimensions - If the car fits fully inside the gauge (with the door closed), then the car meets the standard dimension limits of 3" max height, 2-3/4" max width, 7" max length, and 1-3/4" min wheel spacing. If your race does not have a maximum height limit, the height checker can be removed.
- Underbody Clearance - If the bottom of the car clears the guide rail then the car meets the 3/8" minimum underbody clearance. The transparent acrylic panels allow you to see any part of the car that will drag on the guide rail.
- Wheelbase Length - If your organization has restrictions on wheelbase length, you can mark those limits on one of the acrylic panels. The marks allow you to verify whether or not the wheelbase restriction is met.
- Start Pin - Verifies that the front end of the car does not extend past the leading edge of the pin, and the car doesn’t extend over the pin.
- Other Checks - The sides of the gauge are transparent acrylic to allow you to visually check the wheels and/or other components for compliance with organization-specific regulations. On our gauge we glued an official wheel and axle on the top of the height checker to assist the inspector in making these checks.
Assembly
The Go/No-go gauge is shipped unassembled with easy to follow instructions. The following tools are needed:
- Small flat-head screwdriver
