Nashville league races

Nashville is only a few weekends away and if all goes to plan, there will be a couple fantasy league races held on Jason's 50-foot track.

Two races will be standard league races with entries and picks. Cars that win these races will be retired like normal for the season championship.

A third race on the super track will be a League Champions race. This will be a hand-picked bracket with all of the top cars from all seasons. We'll see the Top 16 cars of all-time square off to see who is the best of the best. Points earned for this tournament will go towards your season total but the winning car will NOT get retired (since there's a high probability it already is). Basically, this is a bonus point tournament for fun.

Hopefully we'll be doing some more racing on that track with league cars, but those are the only races I plan on doing that have bearing on league points. I'm thinking I'll be running the races from my phone so we'll have to see how that works. Worst case, results won't get submitted until the following day.

So that's the deal...should be fun to see if our league champions are fakes or phonies

Awesome! I was hoping you would do something like this, but didn't know if it would work with the racing schedule.

You will get much different results on the big track versus the shorter track. Looking forward to this.

Sweet...the long track is awesome.

A third race on the super track will be a League Champions race. This will be a hand-picked bracket with all of the top cars from all seasons. We'll see the Top 16 cars of all-time square off to see who is the best of the best. Points earned for this tournament will go towards your season total but the winning car will NOT get retired (since there's a high probability it already is). Basically, this is a bonus point tournament for fun.

Is there a chance to have a super race here with 32 cars and rank them 1 v 32 2 v 31 etc...? I just see so many cars after the cut off of 16 cars (if the ranking points are used) that I think would have a really good chance on this track.

We'll have to see. Any sort of 32-car racing won't be a league tournament though because it only supports 16-car setups. We might be able to do it just for fun and post some results there of, but at this point don't expect 32-car brackets for the league.

But...32-car brackets have come up a lot so I know many people are interested in them. It's something I'm looking into for a big 2012 update of the game. We'll have to see...

Understood.

Maybe..maybe..people could vote for their top 16 cars of that group and the highest vote getters get in with only the three retired cars as locks into the tournament. I would love to see the Nerve Hammer, Ferrari F50, 16 Angels, Rescue Ranger, Super Van, Tahoe, and a few others on that big track.
