Drag Week 2015...RLD style...

HI Guys,

Last year, Drag Week was streamed live on the internet and, I have to admit, I watched most of it out of the corner of my eye, here at work. And, I think that it is one of the coolest (full scale) events out there. If you are aren't familiar with it (http://www.hotrod.com/news/2015-hot-rod-drag-week-day-1-track-announcement/), drag racers run there cars at five different tracks in 5 days...and DRIVE THEM from track to track! So, it is also an endurance event, for the drivers and the cars! 

So,here is the idea...I will run a week-long event. A drag race every night on a slightly different track. With the catch being...I will set up an oval track with a booster, and each car will "drive" 20 laps or so every day to simulate driving from track to track.

The cars will have to be built to last!

Penalties

I will do my best to keep your cars up and running for the week, if there is a problem. Your cars will be weighed and I will spot you 1gram over (due to difference in scales). If over that, I will lighten the cars, if it can be easily done...but, try to watch your car weights, Guys!
