Hello, my name is Drew, first time posting. I am looking at starting to semd cars in for league races. What class would be an easy one to start out in? Basx am looks like the easiest "stock" builds. Is this right thinking or is there a more beginner category

Welcome and glad to hear you will be racing with us in 2021. BASX Am is the place to start for sure.
A scout kit can get you started but there are also quality parts available that will make building a fast car a little easier.
Machined wheels and SRG axels are two must haves to be competitve.

Good Luck!

Welcome to the world of professional pinewood racing. Do yourself a favor and sign up for a workshop with a pro. Throw that wheel shaver in the trash. A pro can get you started on the right path. If you look at the sub badge lists the real pros are in the fastest sub groups. I recommend JDB.
