Race course

[Ken Webb]

Does Namba and IMPBA have one course size that can be used by both orgs. without modifications to the course?

 

[JeremyEdge]

yes just go on their websites and look in the rule book sections

If my memory serves me correctly NAMBA is more flexible as far as the course radius goes. So, I would just run a 1/3 mile IMPBA course which has a radius of 35 feet and a straight-away of 330 feet. Six laps of racing gives you a mile long course.

 

[anthony_marquart]

wouldn't that be 2 miles?

The above course is 1/6 mile. 6 laps = 1mile. I found the above course in both rule books. Namba's is in the elec. section.. 35ft radius turns 330 ft straights.

oh ok,.. it said 1/3,.. didn't do the math.. sorry..

 

[Ken Webb]

Oh my. You're not perfect.LOL Who is?

IMPBA calls it a 1/3 mile course in their rule book because 2 laps is used for oval records. So yes, it's really a 1/6 mile course.
