Cubby Pure Stock rules say to use BSA axles only. What about the ones that DerbyDad4Hire sells that he calls BSA Official Speed axles? As long as they measure right and look right if inspected, it would probably be a difficult thing to prove where they came from. How should this rule be interpreted?

In looking at the rules for all the divisions Cubby Pure Stock is the only one that says "BSA only". To me that means supplied by BSA. The options in the other divisions say "Nail only, or Nail, Pin, Headless, or Straight". Now, are the DD4H axels originally purchased from BSA and then modified by DD4H? If that were true then they might be legal. I don't know the answer to the Cubby question but we should get an answer.
Unless I hear otherwise, the consensus seems to be that this kind of axle is not appropriate for Cubby Pure Stock. We'll plan to stick with regular BSA kit axles for this one.

Would it be safe to say that an axle that measures in the .087"-.089" area and is round (same diameter when checked several places) is not BSA and won't be allowed? Just trying to picture how , if I were checking cars, I would pick out the replicas. BTW, I'm taking out my replicas and replacing them with original BSA nails. I just didn't catch the rule meaning the first time around and I invite all to do the same if you have also installed the replicas.

Here is another rules question regarding Cubby Stock. The stated minimum diameter for the BSA only wheel is 1.180". I thought I would venture into this class and make up some BSA wheels but my wheels do not clean up at this diameter. I have tried 4 different wheels and all have to get to less than 1.180 to clean up. Has anyone else had this problem? It seems that if the non-clean up areas are not on any part of the wheel that contacts the track surface it would be OK, but I wonder why the rule was established this way ? Any thoughts on this?
I would say this rule is in place so you can't use machined wheels. Most scout rules say light sanding on the wheels and this class is supposed to be like scout cars. Just my opinion.

Cycrunner, We used 1.180 dia. rule so guys will only be able lightly machine or sand the wheels just like Cub Scout racing rules. This way if anyone that raced in a Cub Scout race there cars should qualify. BTW: I have found several wheels that clean up at 1.180 or better.

I'm looking at a set of orange wheels that are machined to 1.185..........I too have had wheels that clean up at 1.180. Diameters will vary from the heat of the plastic mix when it enters the injection molding machine, cycle time, composition of plastic (ingredients of the mix itself) Maybe to cut manufacturing costs, they modified anyone of the above processes? The orange wheels I have here are 3 years old.............my BSA wheels last me forever......I don't use them! LOL

Just my thoughts on any rules...they usually tell you 3 things but look at 2 of the things very carefully. They always tell you what you "must do", sometimes they tell you what you "can do", and they usually tell you what you "can't do". If you follow what they tell you that you "must do" and you don't see that you "can't do" it, have at it. Just my approach, naturally APR has final say.

I would not think you would be able to groove a stock BSA axle and still be legal for the Cubby class. Just my opinion and APR would have to say for sure. The rules state BSA axle only and doesn't say anything about modifying said same axle so it just might be legal. Some of the racers have a different interpretation the rules. This is not all bad and makes for better competition all around.
