(A Main forthe 4 1/2 FCR Slot Car Race)

On October24, 1999 North Coast Performance Hobbies held a $100.00 Parma FCR slot car race on our oval. This race kicked off the 1999/2000 racing season for North Coast Performance Hobbies.

The cars that were run in this race were the 4 1/2 Parma FCR slot cars with 16d motors. All of the slot car motors were handed out before the race and were numbered and dyed. The only car modifications acceptable for this race were that the racers could add lead, make the front wheels independent, and change the crown gear. All slot cars had to run an 8-tooth pinion to ensure the closest racing possible.
