From Randy: "I was amazed when I found out how securely Derby Stop holds the cars in place. You would virtually have to upend the table to disturb the cars."

• Wheel Diameter - Accurately and quickly verifies compliance with a 1.170 inch or a 1.180 inch wheel diameter specification.

• Wheel Width - Verifies quickly and accurately whether the wheel complies with a .320 or a .360 overall wheel width. These measurements correspond to a 7mm and 8mm tread patch width on most wheels.

• Material - Anodized aluminum with etched text.

Click Here for More Information	7530 Wheel Go/No-go Gauge In Stock $19.95	From Randy: "When wheel compliance is checked with a digital caliper, accuracy and consistency suffer due to too much (or too little) pressure on the thumb wheel, not measuring square to the wheel, and only measuring at one spot on the wheel. All of these issues are eliminated with our Wheel Go/No-go Gauge."

• Car Dimensions - If the car fits fully inside the gauge, then the car meets the standard dimension limits of 3 inches maximum height, 2-3/4 inches maximum width, 7 inches maximum length, and 1-3/4 inches minimum wheel spacing (the height measurement is optional).

• Underbody Clearance - If the bottom of the car clears the guide rail then the car meets the 3/8 inch minimum underbody clearance.

• 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.

It not only greatly speeds up the inspection process, but it also applies the race rules without bias. Parents cannot argue if the car doesn't fit in the box."

7500 RaceFX Sound Effects Player CD & License In Stock $19.95	7510 RaceFX Sound Effects Player License Only In Stock $19.95	From Randy: "RaceFX will add a lot of excitement and 'atmosphere' to your event. We hook up a laptop into our sound system, and assign a parent or teen helper to play the sounds as appropriate. Here is one trick we learned: If you get a hum in the sound, either run the laptop on batteries, or plug the laptop into a 3-prong to 2-prong AC adaptor. The hum comes from a ground problem, and this adapter eliminates the issue."
