The track will be 20' long and then have about 10' of track to slow down and then a padded stop. The sides of the
track can only be used for guiding your racer down the track.
You will need to leave a 1'-2' length of power chord (male plug) hanging out the back of your racer. There will
be an extension cord to power your racer running from the starting line that will reach to the end of the track. You
will drag the cord with you.
Here is an explination of how the races will be timed. There will be lasers, yes, real "LASERS" that will be timing
the races down to .001 of a second! So the functional parts of your racer still has to fit in the 7x7x14 envelope but
you will need to have a flag sticking up to register your time. I am thinking a 2"x2" patch of tape will work.
I am sure it will take some experimentation on race day to get everyone's car to register but it doesn't have to be anything
elaborate. Anything from a threaded rod, clothes hanger, or whatever you have should work.
