FORMULA TOY F.A.Q. updated 3-1-06

[a2b]

The Formula Toy class is the cheapest form of competitive rock crawling available. Also, a Formula Toy doesnt give up its trail-ability to compete. A F-Toy makes a perfect trail rig for the weekends and seating up to 4. Being that its a spec class, the playing field is even accross the board. Its truly a drivers/spotters class.

[FatA$$ Toyota]

Shouldnt this be made a sticky or whatever you call it to keep it at the TOP.???????

I am seriously researching doing a 4 seater in one of these and have to keep pulling it up.

Just wondering since the Toyota one is stuck at the top.

Thanks,

The Official Formula Toy Site is:
http://www.formulatoy.org


I guess that site is gone...

Where can a newb who is interested get a copy of the class rules on vehicles and things like that?

aren't listed on www.We-rock.cc yet?

[Po' riggity]

uhhh did someone let the formulatoy.org domain expire?

[Jeep07]

Scott

Yup Mark let it go.... I tried my best to get it but some squatter company got in the way.

I figure werock will make a sub site off theirs for ftoys.

[Po' riggity]

why let it go? seems cheap to at least keep the domain?

[Lil' Rich]

Formula toys are currently as integrated into the site as any other class with the exception of the rules which we are straightening out right now. (Clarification for the most part only)

Once I get the rulebook back, I will post it and let you guys know.

[DRM]

Anyone have the old rules they can send me, so I can at least start reading to get a general idea?

[mtbrjon]

Working on getting the site back. Stay tuned.

[2hi2c]

Looking for a spotter for this year's FTOY season. I am located 20min north of Saltlake city,ut. Currently working on FTOY chassis. Could use some help as well finishing.

Have already paid for this year's WEROCK entries.

I have radios and all the gear.

[brimy311]

Are the rules available yet?

[scorpion81147]

I am also having troubles finding rules and regs. How are you supposed to build a rig to competition specs if you can't figure out what they are? :confused:

[MT4Runner]

Jeez, guys, that's a pretty sad excuse--look harder!!
The rules haven't changed significantly in over 3 years....and in that time, only rear discs and EFI were allowed. Every build thread discusses the rules.

Are the rules available yet?
