Race Idea

Traction-Event Monday, 4/29/2013

“Winner take all” 3 race series. or maybe just a single race?

Here’s the deal:
You win this event, you win all the other entrants vehicles….. and a display trophy with the winning car up top and others placed accordingly below. Think about it… a one of a kind trophy, with one of a kind cars. I serious display piece….size will vary with number of entrants

Weight class TBD….I think light weights is a good place to start. We’ve had plenty of middle and heavy classes of late. Unless a heavier class helps boost the number entrants?

Tracks: I would like 3 very different track layouts…if possible. Short track , long track , high starting gate, low starting gate, kicker…etc. suggestions, or hosts?

Type of elimination: Two wins in a row and you move on to the next round. Double elimination? Single?

RULES
MUST ENTER ONE CAR….ONE CAR ONLY
STOCK OR MOD OK (IT'S MORE FUN TO MOD!).
NO EARLY REDLINE WHEELS.
CARS MUST WEIGH LESS THAN (TBD)
CARS MUST BE LESS THAN 3.5” LONG.
CARS MUST BE LESS THAN 1.25” TALL.
ONLY "DRY" LUBES ARE ALLOWED

“there is no prize greater than another racers vehicle”

Now ask yourself a few questions:

Do I have, or can I build the best (enter weight class here) vehicle?
Do I want the opportunity to win this one of a kind prize?
Can you beat Carl and those crazy blue wheels?

Please discuss…..

Sounds Like A Very Interesting Idea. Lightweight Should Be Interesting. I Like The Idea Of Having Different Variety Of Tracks.

YES, YES, and YES!
Sounds good! I think the races should be double-elimination. And man, that'd be one heck of a trophy! Everybody would chip in to purchase it, right?

I like the idea. Personally, I would like to see a Lightweight race as I haven't been in one of those yet.

It ain't the wheels!
It's the yellow,
FEAR THE YELLOW!

I like the lightweight idea, and think it's time we had another featherweight series.
TE asked me to build a custom display trophy for this event, and I'm more than pleased to do it. If I had my way, I would really like to see the trophy adorned with all modified cars, even if it's just a wheel swap.
So the question is "would we have enough people willing/able to do a little modifying?"

Looks like there's six of us already. What's the fewest number of people that ever entered a race? Maybe if there were 10 or fewer you would enter two cars?

I'll send a modified racer.

I Will Send A Modifier Also. It Shouldn't Be Anything To Do A Wheel Swap And Paint Possibly.
