  1. Maximum length shall be 24 inches.

  2. Maximum width shall be 12 inches.

  3. Maximum weight shall be 30 pounds.

  4. Maximum wheel diameter shall be 6 inches (measured with the car on track at the highest point of each wheel).

  5. Each car must have four wheels on the track.

 

The size restrictions seemed off so I measured the two Mark gave Lil Stampie. These are 32 inches long and 12.5 wide.  I don't have a scale handy but I'm thinking they're over 30lbs. Also in the picture above one of the cars seems to have only three wheels. 

 

Edit: the wheelbase seems to be 24 inches and the track seems to be 12.
