12v is my vote as if you had to ask! I also like the rule that all cars max rear width is 2.5"!

Just saw this thread today. If there's a place still available, I'd like to play too. Car #75. And I would vote for 12 volts.

We run 10v here at SCC, but I'm ok if you want me to run 'em at 12v. After all, they're your cars, and they'll only hit the wall harder...(just sayin')

I will put you in for car # 75.

I think the entry list is now full. I will put any additional names into an "alternate list" in case any of the original 26 entrants drop out.

12V- It is the norm.

Setting different voltage at each track is all well and good with a single race, but these cars have to race on several tracks. Part of the skill in building your car is constructing one that will work on different tracks. You will nail some and possibly be way off on others. Changing track voltages puts a variable into the mix that can't be foreseen by the builder and gives an unfair advantage to those who put too large a motor in their car. Those cars will have the power needed for large tracks and the driveability at lower voltages needed for the slow, twisty tracks.

Assign me a number, I'll print some stickers and put them over the number 1.
