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.

Legacy Division
Please note that the Legacy division operates exclusively as a special division during the FirstEnergy All-American Race Week at Derby Downs in Akron, Ohio. Consequently, champions cannot compete in this division at the local race city level.
Instead, this division specifically targets experienced racers between the ages of 12 and 20. During the event, the Legacy race features an open-invitation, double-elimination format that incorporates a mandatory lane-and-wheel swap as part of the annual FirstEnergy All-American Race Week festivities.

Furthermore, Legacy puts the STEM principles of aerodynamics and chassis design into practice and accommodates larger, more experienced drivers. To participate, however, you must register and pay the registration fee by the deadline. Additionally, champs qualified to attend Race Week in another ISBD division will have the option of racing in the Legacy division as well. Regardless of the division, the Legacy cars must arrive within the same drop-off period that all other divisions follow.
Please note that the wheels are not included in the kit price. Instead, the Legacy kit contains an uncut floorboard and all hardware required to construct your car chassis. Consequently, the builder will provide materials to construct the body, weights, and other optional hardware described in the Build Plan as desired.
