The ISF has been racing since 2000. Indyslotcar since 1993. Most drivers in both series race in both series in some capacity. You wouldn't think there would be room for another series.
There is!
Sometimes racers just need to jump into a car and race for the pure joy of it.
Mario Andretti, AJ Foyt, Tony Stewart all race other cars just for the fun of it.
ISF champion John Wiedemann came up with just an idea for drivers to imitate those legends.
The Super Hot Modified Unlimited Championship.
Rules for the rule-less racing series to be known as the Super Hot Modified Unlimited Championship (SHMUC).
Chassis: Tyco 440 chassis.
Any Tyco (440, 440x2, 440x3), (USA, Malaysian, European), (wide or
narrow) chassis can be utilized. Chassis must not be modified, shaved,
or cut in any way. Chassis must be stock and not physically altered
(chassis can be mentally altered).
Body: Any slotcar body that
you can get to fit on the chassis without altering the body or chassis
and will remain on the chassis during normal racing conditions is
allowed. All wings and windows that are stock to the body must remain.
Older bodies can be missing items like side pipes, exhaust but any
larger holes in the body caused by the missing pieces should be filled
or taped up (this will be on a case by case basis with majority vote by
event drivers ruling).
Electrical system: Any way
that you want to modify/replace the way the power gets to the motor is
up to you, as long as there are no modifications to the chassis or body
as noted above – they cannot be altered.
Magnets: Any magnets that
fit into the chassis without modifications to the chassis are allowed.
Magnets can be glued or attached to the chassis in any way as long as
they stay attached under normal racing conditions and do not alter the
chassis.
Tires/Wheels: Run any tires/wheels that you would like.
