I'm in for racing but I'll have to pass on hosting.

I'll race and host! Sinisterdog probably will, too. Also, I would say double-elimination--just my opinion.
It would also be interesting to have a race with all the robbers--maybe a grand fanale for the final host?...
When will this series start? Also, does Spiderman count as a cop?
I might send the Ford GT from Middleweight I as a robber...partly because I have one a heck of a lot like it on Need For Speed that's been in PLENTY of severe cop chases!

Uh.. Spiderman is not a cop. More of a vigilante.
Ford GT is fine.
To be honest I'm not even sure how a double elimination race would work. I'm asking other entrants to speak up on whether they would like a double elimination tournament.....

I don't see any red / blue lights /headgear on the "cop rods"... is adding a rhinestone redlight on the roof and a mini Harley Davidson badge as a police symbol on the black n white's doors cool ? [if cool I have a few extras]

.....front half '64 nova wagon, back half '58 T bird... bound for the Iowa customs for kids race .
Double elims seem to be fine when you don't have too many cars and have close to even [16/32] car brackets...
.
I.M.O. the # of entries will make the double elims decision for you...
.
Depending on how many cars, single or double elims for cops & robbers....
Maybe take the top [4] from each bracket, run eliminations to get your winner and runner-up, then [5] extra races -
-semi losers = 3-4,[then quarter losers to get 5 vs.6 and 7 vs.8], then the 5 vs.6 W vs 7 vs.8 W and 5 vs.6 L vs.7 vs.8 L to determine the placing #1 to #8...
There is a printable bracket for this....
Really cool would be to have the race placement determine the top [8] #s for the next race... #1 gets #1, #2 gets #2, etc.
... again I.M.O.

We're good at setting up double-eliminations for eight and beyond, but it may be different from a normal bracket. We get pretty specific, too--even through numbers like 64. I can try explaining it if you want.
I'll have to apply some decals for a PC...I don't have that many fast ones, but I should be able to rip some lights off a slow one. And I may also consider sending in a Clue suspect for a Robber.

A couple do not have lights, but are undoubtedly Police Cars. One doesn't have a roof!

Can we get a judgment? Yea, maybe a "Bullitt" Charger.

I've never seen a convertible police car, but I have seen a Ford GT500 Cobra Mustang that was a cop car over in Oregon. It was taken in a drug bust. So the convertible vette is in. The charger as a bad guy , why not.

Just more to chew on.

No lights on this Hottie ! Chute either. lol, How bout, Gotta be a cop car. Some of today's cars don't have the lights on top, there located at the top of the windshield. I suggest nix the lights rule. I like the lights but it will open up what cars can be used. I'd like to see what everyone comes up with. Maybe more entries too.
