After 38 years, Pack 13 purchased a NEW 4 lane track & lane brain. In the near future we intend to be running the race by computer software, utilizing "The Judge" lane brain. The pinecar racing specifications, BSA13 basic rules, & Race Rules will remain the same. We hope this new track provides "13" with years of racing!
