Rules 2021
This post will notate any changes and when they were made.
Overview:
The DaVols Forum Cup Proxy (DFCP) is a NASCAR themed 1/32 scale proxy series founded by the late Bruce Kraemer. The original intent Bruce offered was a simple inexpensive way to build NASCAR style slot cars for a proxy format. Since his passing, the tradition Bruce put into place has been continued by each dedicated series director with a few tweaks over time to keep the cars current and to maintain interest. DFCP is a NASCAR style series with oval tracks raced in counterclockwise direction, and road courses that may be raced in either clockwise or counter clockwise direction, on both wood and plastic track. The series is fun to prepare for and to participate in. I would encourage any interested slot car racer to learn about DFCP and make the decision to enter this long standing traditional proxy.
Common Rules to both COT (Generation 5 and 6) and Winston Cup (Scalextric 1980s)
Minimum weight: Rule to be enforced the same for both classes with different limits. To be checked by series director before season opening race and at any time during the season by track hosts. Official weight to be determined by series director, hosts checks are optional. Any car found to be under minimum weight after initial inspection and during the season will be allowed a 2 gram tolerance. Cars under tolerance should be reported to series director and the most convenient solution will be determined. There will be no penalty for a car under tolerance during the season as long the car is brought up to minimum when discovered. There is no tolerance allowed at initial inspection-the official preseason minimum is set in each class rules. Let's all play fair with this rule.
Glass: Stock windshield, side opening, and rear glass required. Glass must be clear front and rear. Glass must be secured to the body. Loose glass is not allowed.
Appearance: NASCAR style numbers required on the roof and doors. Roof numbers should face the infield on a counter-clockwise oval. Sponsor and detail decals are optional but encouraged. Stock or builder livery's allowed. Builder livery's must maintain a NASCAR theme.

Tires: Rear, Paul Gage Urethane original FIRM compound only, sized for the stock wheel or for 15x8 CB Design. Front, stock or aftermarket allowed. Zero grips allowed. Glued and trued tires allowed. Front tires must contact the track while car is in the slot and tires must roll when given a test push. Front tire coating with any substance is not allowed. (Scalextric Monet Carlo and Thunderbird as well as the 15x8 wheels can use PGT-21105)
Axles: Stock or aftermarket allowed. Must be proper length, must not protrude beyond normal appearance.
Bushings: Stock or aftermarket allowed. may be glued in place. Ball bearing type bushings are not allowed.

Weight: Must be secured-must be concealed. Weight may not be attached on the underside of chassis.

Contact with the track surface by any part of the chassis and body is not allowed. Body posts may be trimmed. Body float is allowed. Wheel wells may be sanded to allow for tire clearance. Tires may NOT extend beyond the wheel well openings as viewed from above the car and measured at 90 degrees from a flat surface plate to the top center of the wheel well opening. Extreme body modifications are not allowed, the car must maintain a NASCAR style appearance in the judgement of the series director. COT wing must be replaced with a spoiler. If you have a question about this, please ask. Modifications as described in the common rules section are allowed.

COT Motor: COT is an open motor division. Any commercially available slot car motor is allowed. Builders be advised: Super high RPM motors (over 25k) are counter productive and will over match the tires and tracks and cause your car to be undriveable. If you can tame such a car, you have the option. Just keep in mind drivers of all skill levels will be racing your car. Motors may be secured using screws and/or glue or tape.

(A question was asked about filling in the rear deck area on the Monte Carlo to create the non-aero rear window. Also, there was talk about grafting a Pontiac or Buick nose onto the Monte Carlo body. Both of these would be legal.)
Winston Cup Glass: If rear deck area is modified to remove bubble aero rear window, a suitable replacement must be installed. (Ask if you have any questions)
Winston Cup Interior: Stock interior required, including driver, window net, and all other parts/pieces. Interior may not be cut, ground, or modified shape in any way. Bushing supports may be removed from bottom of interior. Driver must be painted and/or decaled. Interior must be secured to the body. Loose interior is not allowed.
