 Good morning,
i had time to review the results and the measurements I made on the cars.

Rally Schedule is in the leading page but in case you missed it, this list the tracks where Scalextric or SCX track is in use.

So this is where more pain is lightly to be inflicted to some of the teams.

Rules
Guide requirements as "strongly advisable" 
Depth Max 6mm
width Max 1.5mm
Length Max 20mm

This is an rule that is difficult to enforce as there will always be those who propose that guides outside these limits can be used, if they fit thicker braids, have recessed guide location within the chassis, the guide is higher than the front wheels etc,etc,etc

But I did seek to persuade entrants to use the appropriate guides (eg 6mm guides from NSR, Avant or Ninco) and posted photos of the recommended guides. 

However I did not include it in the mandatory dimensional list of compliance requirements  (as in the scrutineer reports) for the reasons above.

But I did measure many of the cars, hoping to avoid out and out failures on the track, some arrived too late to do other than the basic dimensional measurements.

So here are some over spec guides:
Groundhogs - Alfa Romeo (D 6.7mm)
ManxAndy - Jaguar XK120 (D 6.4mm & L 21mm)
Savage GT - BMW M1 (D 6.4mm & L 20.4mm)
Novissime - Audi Quattro (D 6.6mm W1.7mm & L 22.2mm)
Brumos - Porsche 914/6 (D 6.4mm & L 21.2mm)
James@wye Valley- Porsche 914/6 (D 6.5mm & L 21.4mm)
ALS - Alfa Romeo (D6.5mm & L21)
BARacer -Triumph TR7 ( D 6.2mm & L21.4)
ManxKevin Jaguar XK120 (W 1.6mm)
Mountain View - Lancia Delta ( W 1.7mm)
Team Cube -Ferrari 308 ( L 20.4mm)
SSRC - Triumph TR7 (D 6.7mm)
Bangers Racing - Citroen Saxo ( L20.4mm)

I guess I could have disqualified all of these and more, but on the otherhand taking the pragmatic point of view, these "out of spec" guides are self penalising when we get to these types of Rally tracks, but probably have the advantage over the "in spec" guides on the less demanding tracks.

I would also add that very loose guides which can rock from front to back can also be a problem in these SCX tracks even when they are within the specified limits
