The car weighs approximately 70 lbs. put together with Z-Glas® wheels. The combined weight of the assembled car and the driver shall not exceed 200 pounds including the Z-Glas® wheels. A combined weight of less than 200 pounds may be increased by the addition of owner-provided weight. The Stock car, a lean-forward design, is sold as a kit that includes everything needed for racing with the exception of Z-Glas racing wheels and weights. Because painting is not permitted on the Stock car shell, drivers have the choice of decaling or using a vinyl wrap on their white shell. Builders should allow 4-6 hours to assemble their Stock division car.
