Traction Event's Race of Champions
This Race will be filmed for viewing at the Heavy Haulers Series finale August 30th.
Below are the 16 chosen cars and some info on each. I'll add photos of each car later.
For this race I have picked 8 former custom racers that have seen track action here on RLD. These will race 8 stock racers from my collection. The stock cars were chosen from my top 20 fastest
Each online racer will pick one car. Use the “thumbs up” to pick your car. First come first serve.
This will also choose car numbers and the race order 1 races 2, 3 vs 4, 5 vs 6 and so on.
2 cars will not be chosen, these cars will fill the bracket and play spoiler. One will be placed in each end of the bracket.
# 8 and #16 will be chosen for the final 2 cars
Single elimination
Standard format first car to win 2 races moves on.
Overall winner will get a prize and bragging rights.
I'd like the Heavy Hauler participants to get first crack at this, since it will be Taped and filmed at the series finals.
!!!!! Cars and specs will be added Saturday Aug 16th after 8pm Eastern.!!!!!
