TOPSTOX Racing  

         Ooops!

Last updated

01 January 2009

Some of the drivers that race at Yorkshire Mardave Racing Club also race large scale Topstox stock cars. They are based on an FG Marder with a stock car chassis frame added. They have a 23 or 26cc petrol two stroke engine running on normal unleaded petrol. They use touring car wheels and tyres and reach speeds of up to 50 mph.

Almost too much power, not quite enough grip, too many cars in too small a space. Then to add a bit of fun, put the more successful drivers at the back of the grid and make them work even harder to win!!

These 15kg monsters are an awesome sight as they thunder around the Oval track and take no prisoners.

 

So why the different coloured roofs?

 It's not up to the driver, it is an indication as to the drivers success. Depending on the points you earn the roof colours change. The order from lowest (Novice) up is as follows: White, Yellow, Blue, Red and Red with flashing amber lights (Super star). In addition there are a few others, Black and White chequered (British champion), Red and Yellow chequered (European champion), Silver (national points champion), Gold (world champion) These roof colours determine where abouts on the grid you start from. Generally the lowest grade at the front, highest at the rear.
