Division 2 · Non-Wing Scale Cars
USRA Scale writes the shared rulebook, sanctions member raceways, and runs the annual national championship for 1/24 and 1/32 non-wing competition. Run by racers, for racers.
Who We Are
The United Slot Racers Association split into two independent divisions in 2025. USRA Scale is Division 2 — the home of non-wing scale car racing on commercial 1/24 and 1/32 tracks, from entry-level spec-motor classes to the fastest steel-chassis competition in the hobby.
Our membership of racers, manufacturers, and track owners maintains that rulebook together and votes on where the national championship goes next. No committee decides it for them.
Classes
Scale car racing scales with you. Start on a stamped-steel chassis with a controlled motor and work up to the precision classes without ever leaving the sanction.
Stamped-steel flexi chassis with a controlled spec motor. The most affordable way into sanctioned scale racing.
Laser and EDM-cut steel chassis under scale GT bodywork. Faster, tighter tolerances.
Flat-track focused competition built on precision chassis work. Patience in pan float, weight, and braid pays.
Faster non-wing racing for experienced drivers on banked and flat surfaces, run to the same rulebook.
USRA Nats
The USRA Nats is the season’s proving ground — a full week of non-wing competition across every sanctioned class, hosted by a member raceway chosen by the membership itself.
Get Involved
Racers, manufacturers, and track owners all hold a seat at the table. Membership means a vote on the rules, a vote on the Nationals host.
Race to one consistent rulebook wherever you travel, and qualify for the national championship.
Build to published class specs and get your parts in front of the racers who use them weekly.
Sanction your raceway, run tech to a shared standard, and put your track in the running for Nats.
